Normally, I’d agree...this isn’t really a 4-star issue. Its puzzling that rather than answer it or simply declare the birth certificate out and in the open....we are left to question more intensely.
I suspect that if enough digging is done...we find that he is born in Vancouver...NOT Hawaii, and he is still a US citizen by reason of the mother being such. I suspect this is something that the family never talked about and really seemed to “hide” in some fashion. I don’t think mom or dad was happy with their daughter coming up with her first real boyfriend...and the guy is some dude from Africa...and the daughter is preg. Most of us would act the same way if this had been our daughter.
The only scenario I could see emerging where citizenship would be very questionable....is where we find that mom had issues....never delivered....and adopted this child in Canada.
The more one reads of Stanley Ann Durham...the more of a image of a very naive and misguided young lady who simply kept walking from one mess into another. As much as she put into various notions of a socialist world at hand...the 3rd world visit to Indonesia and the lack of any worldly impact by herself and her perceived agenda...probably left her with a negative view of everything accomplished.
Your comment is exceptionally well thought out and well developed.
I’ll repeat it here with a few additions, if I may:

Be well.
Correct. Barack H. Obama II may be a citizen BUT he wasn’t born in the USA nor in one of its territories. That would make him ineligible for the Presidency.
