PROOF - OBAMA’S ACKNOWLEDGED DUAL CITIZENSHIP MEANS NEVER ELIGIBLE TO BE POTUS

NATURAL BORN CITIZEN ^ | 11/15/2008

Here is the relevant wording from the Constitution.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

Now please explain your reasoning that the above means there is no one eligible to be President.

Interesting. I was always under the impression that if I wanted to become an American, I would have to relinquish my other citizenships: not because Canada, the UK and NZ would insist I do so, but because America would require it.

As part of the naturalization process you are required to take an oath of allegiance to the United States and giving up allegiance to any foreign government. But that's different from dual citizenship bestowed because of birth. In that case citizenship in both countries is automatic because of the laws in each.

Simply not true. British citizenship has no bearing on U.S. citizenship.

So our Constitution is NOT true either???

[jetson]

The real question now is did he present doctored document. Has he committed fraud?

Nothing is gonna stop the steam roller.
Hey,, how do I post images on my home page?? Can’t figure it out!

[danamco]

Dual citizenship, even from birth, is not a Constitutional bar to the Presidency

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States:

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

[danamco]

He is not a british or kenyan citizen now.

No, but WAS at one point of time. Additional his mother was tooooo young to give U.S. citizenship as well!!!

[deport]

Has the SCOTUS ever in any of it’s cases addressed the issue of “natural born citizen”? If so do you have any links to it?

It would be interesting to see how they approach orginal intent if they have addessed the issue or how they would if they haven’t..

[katiekins1]

Glad to see somebody has spirit. Don't feel demoralized or defeated...That attitude is the very thing they depend on.

> Simply not true. British citizenship has no bearing on U.S. citizenship.

Jenifer Granholm (born in Canada/British?) cannot run for President

[plain talk]

Irrelevant. IF he was born on US soil he is qualified. End of story. This has been discussed countless times. You may wish to do some searches and check it out. Thanks.

At one time, it did mean that. C-section born children were thought to be mentally defective. (At least according to my historian father.)

[Gumdrop]

My cousin and her husband lived in France in the 1960’s where two of their four children were born. He was a school teacher on an American base in Poitiers.

Both children held dual citizenship until they turned 21 and formally denounced their French citizenship. In all other ways, they are considered as natural-born citizens and would be qualified to hold the POTUS job.

Give it a rest — the masses have spoken and they do not mind giving a possible non-US citizen excess to our nuclear arsenal and control over our armed forces.

[LucyT]

Thanks for the pings.

Perhaps “pa mom” would like to read this thread.

Interesting—heard about the Indonesian and Kenyan possibilities, but not this one.

[MilspecRob]

Obammy, produce the birth certificate and the debate will end. Since you have not....what are you hiding?

Palin didn't release her medical records (she got a Dr's note)... what is she hiding?

[count-your-change]

Maybe Cuba will bestow American citizenship upon Cubans so they can apply for welfare and SS.

[pabianice]

Just STFU, will you?

[john in springfield]

Because we have no one left who was a natural born citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution!!

I mean, that's OBVIOUSLY what the framers meant, right? To make it so that once their homies all died out NOBODY could be elected President of the USA ever again!
