Actually its a moot point. Even if it was a fake passport and he was born in Kenya (which I don't believe), he's still a US citizen because of his mother was a natural born US citizen. The red herring is, everyone is looking at the law which states that the mother must have been a citizen for at least 5 years after her 16th birthday (impossible since she was only 18)-- but that is for American WIVES of foreign husbands. Barack Obama Sr. was already married in Kenya when he met Barry's mom and since bigamy is illegal in the United States, any marriage ceremony between the senator's parents was invalid. The law at that time was the child of an UNMARRIED American mother was a natural born citizen if mom was a US citizen who'd lived on American soil for at least one year.

8 USC 1409 (c) Notwithstanding the provision of subsection (a) of this section, a person born, after December 23, 1952, outside the United States and out of wedlock shall be held to have acquired at birth the nationality status of his mother, if the mother had the nationality of the United States at the time of such person’s birth, and if the mother had previously been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year.

So regardless of where Senator Obama was born, since he's certainly a bastard, he's certainly eligible for the presidency.

Interesting point. At the same time, a forged birth certificate is still a crime. His sisters BC apparently was used to look like his. Thus, at least two should be prosecuted, and it is a scandal.

So after BO gets basted over his mocking a tortured war hero for not writing emails, and once he’s thoroughly tarred and feathered over his sex ed for kindergarteners, if there’s any flesh left on his hide, this can peel some more off.

Great answer, and truly amazing to me. I wonder why that hasn't been FULLY discussed - at least on Fox News? And then there's a question of the authenticity of the Birth Certificate, too. If he was legally compliant, why all the questions on the authenticity of his birth certificate?
