Three facts:

BHO is not the first President to have only one citizen parent.

There have been other individuals over the last 200 years who were born on US soil to one citizen parent and they ran unsuccessfully for the Presidency or Vice Presidency without their eligibility being questioned.

When considering the line of succession for the Presidency, having only one parent citizen parent has never been a disqualifier as long as the person had been born in the US.

That's not the issue!

There have been other individuals over the last 200 years who were born on US soil to one citizen parent and they ran unsuccessfully for the Presidency or Vice Presidency without their eligibility being questioned.

Name them!

When considering the line of succession for the Presidency, having only one parent citizen parent has never been a disqualifier as long as the person had been born in the US.

I think you need to go back and take a long hard look at the 14th Amendment. You appear to have bought into a bunch of liberal talking points without giving any real thought to what they are saying. Therein is why I posted the long, factual post to Drew. The issue exceeds simply having 1 parent. Under the terms of the 14th Amendment, neither BHO nor any of the bazillions of Mexican anchor babies are "natural born" citizens.

This issue has been twisted and turned every way possible to avoid addressing what the 14th Amendment requires for the POTUS.

And, the NEW info coming to light as the result of all this is that since about 2003, there have been multiple bills introduced in the House and Senate trying to legally circumvent the natural born requirements of the 14th Amendment. If this is all birther "hooey", why has the Congress tried between 5 and 8 times since '03 to quietly override that part of the 14th Amendment? Smoke, meet fire!
