As far as I know, Obama traveling on an Indonesian passport would have exactly zero relevance to his status as an American citizen.

You're right. I actually hold passports from three countries (including the US). Perfectly legal, and it in no way impacts my American citizenship.

Thanks. The issue has never come up for me, but there are a remarkable number of people around here who think one can accidentally “lose” American citizenship by being listed as an Indonesian citizen in a school’s paperwork, traveling to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport, etc.

Just not true. Citizenship can only be removed by its voluntary, formal renunciation by an adult.

His paternal grandmother in Kenya has reportedly been audiotaped saying that she was in the delivery room when Obama was born.

Has anyone actually heard this tape? Or seen a transcript?

If he has a passport and wasn’t naturalized, it is quite likely he is a native born citizen.

Our point is that "quite likely" might be plenty good for many things, from drivers licenses to passports, but it is NOT good enough to qualify for President of the United States. There must be a certification process put in place to disqualify foreign usurpers, but if the marxist Bx0 gets in there, there will not be. Remember, the position of POTUS was designed as a sort of temporary, secular King, much like the Roman Consul, so having the most impeccable credentials should be the norm.

I believe there is a document called a Diplomatic Passport that all the swells travel on. Not only access to foreign countries, but a license to kill to boot. Or, do diplomats only get away with that in the USofA, United Suckers of America.

He ain’t got it. Or if he does, it doesn’t say what he needs it to say.

I agree. However, there is no such process in place, and it doesn’t seem likely that one will be installed in the next five days.

The consequences of some judge issuing an injunction to stop the election at this point are pretty scary.

The fact that he is hiding his BC says more than his showing said document.

Americans hate being kept in dark, show said document, what we going to see, that your name is not Barack, that you are listed as being white, that you are not running under your given name, that you are listed as muslim. That you are not citizen, show the true BC and be done with it

Dems cannot believe that Americans can see past labels, because they so often use labels to divide.

Be truthful, as the saying goes the truth will set you free.

I could care less that he is muslim, what I do care about is that by his actions he is either a communist or a marixt,

So BC is irrelevant.

I also know that by his associations and his words, he has marixt tendecies.

Also I know from watching him in action he is either meglomaniac or sociopath,perhaps both.

What I do know is that he will be death of this republic

Do not know that a drivers livense is that big of a deal as it depends on the state and when it was issued.

That's a rumor that's been going around. Do we have any reason to believe that they actually said such a thing?

Is there a tape of these statements, or a transcript? I've seen this claim before, but no one has been able to provide proof that this actually happened.
