This whole business is going nowhere. Obama says he was born in Hawaii. Some relatives claiming that they know he was born in Kenya won't outweigh that. We could be presented with a photo from the front page of the main newspaper in Nairobi from five days after Obama's birth showing his parents in Kenya showing off their newborn son, and the MSM would still believe he was born in Honolulu.

Obama's mother was born in the US. The only reason he would be in trouble if he was born in Kenya is her age. Congress could always pass a law redefining "natural born citizen" to include anyone who had at least one parent who was an American citizen, regardless of age, and that would be that.

For that matter, they could redefine "natural born citizen" so it included being born in the US or its possessions or in Kenya, and who's to stop them?

Again, that "nasty" thing called the Constitution. Ex post facto laws are explicitly prohibited!
