From Michael Hopper:
1. He may not be a natural born citizen qualified to serve as President under Article II of the Constitution
2. He is a suspected illegal alien for two possible reasons
3. He took elected office and was admitted to the Illinois Bar under an alias He admits he was born to an American mother and a British subject, suggesting dual citizenship at best. If he was not born on U.S. soil, and his mother was a minor, she was ineligible to convey US citizenship. Under the British Nationality Act of 1948, he was born a British Citizen. His paternal grandmother claims to have attended his birth in Kenya. Kenya memorializes his place of birth.
At age 3, his mother and father divorced. His mother remarried and his step-father enrolled him in school in Indonesia as "Barry Soetoro." At age 10, after his mother's second divorce, he reentered the US by casually and illegally assuming his birth name. Later still, he ran for and won elected office under his birth name without disclosing his legal name or his prior use of alternative names.
No record of any legal name change from ‘Barry Soetoro’ to ‘Barack Obama’ has ever been found.

Countdown to the trolls calling us “Birthers.”
No need, I declare us proud birthers. (Not to mention the worst kind of extremist there is according to DHS)
The Kenyan Clown admitted to dual citizenship on his campaign website fightthesmears.com at http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate:
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
who’s clever enough to design a logo for us?
Hey, Obama was born and he has a birth certificate to prove it. I mean what do you crazy birthers think that he was created in some top secret government genetics lab. Oh wait that would be Nancy Pelosi. Never you mind.
Factcheck is not neither any state court nor SCOTUS.
Oh I could probably work on something.
“Proud certificate carrying member of the birther brigades” or something like that.
On the other hand, maybe he has no citizenship at all, in which case he is still ineligible.
you’ren hired

4. He probably lost his citizenship. An Indonesian citizen at age 6 , having been adopted by a national, he may be in the US illegally. USC §1481(a)(2) provides loss of nationality by natural born citizens upon "taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state ... after having attained the age of eighteen years," in violation of 8 U.S.C. §1401(a)(1). Indonesia did not allow for dual citizenship. If Obama got an Indonesian passport in 1981, when he was 20 years old, he effectively renounced any U.S. citizenship he may have had.
5. He is suspected of secretly holding a foreign passport. When he traveled to Pakistan ‘in college’, Americans were not allowed into that country. If he traveled on an Indonesian passport in 1981 at age 20, he was and remains an Indonesian citizen.
6. He posted an illegitimate birth record to deflect questions and allegations.
7. The Certification of Live Birth is a suspected forgery. The "Certification of Live Birth" shown on FightTheSmears.com is not a birth certificate, but an image of an abstract that was invalidated by alteration. As indicated on that same image, the blacked out certification number invalidates the document. Document analysis shows it to be a suspected forgery.
The border is one that is used in 2007 COLBs. As a security measure, Hawaii changes their borders every year. This is when the Obama campaign claims the certificate was obtained. However, the seal and signature stamp are from a 2008 COLB. As revealed by a process called edging, the Hawaiian seal and signature stamp on the back of the document are revealed to be from the wrong year. Document experts have analyzed other aspects and find forgery.
8. He refuses to release relevant records. Since matters available in the public domain raise these issues, the burden rests on Obama/Soetoro to explain. He declines to release college applications, transcripts, his birth record, or addresses of where he has lived
. 9. His selective service registration may be falsified. A FOIA document shows a 2008 sequence number for a supposed 1980 registration, an incorrect date of signature, an obsolete postal stamp and other discrepancies. Did he register at age 18 like everyone else?
10. Not a single cause of action has been won by Obama on the merits. All pending suits attempting to get Obama/Soetoro to produce simple documents have been dismissed on technical grounds such as the standing of the plaintiff. Therefore, the courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States have never ruled on the merits of his citizenship.
Will school records list him as a FOREIGN STUDENT? Could that be the reason they are unavailable?
My tagline says it all.
I couldn’t give a rip about the name-calling trolls. I’m much more interested in finding a way to regain and preserve the validity and value of the US Constitution. The issue of 0bama’s eligibility is very clearly a constitutional issue. It deserves a full and complete hearing and resolution.
It’s mighty suspicious, IMO, that 0bama and his minions have spent (reportedly) hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep the truth hidden when all it would take is a $10 or $20 records request to the officials in the Aloha state to produce a certified copy of his birth certificate, not the glommed up COLB that has been presented to this point.
It’s time to take back the country. Let’s start with this issue.
I do not give a hoot how it happens, but there is only one thing I need to know about Obama or whatever his name is, and that is that he’s out of the Peoples White House.
He just needs to be gone before we no longer have the strength and treasure to rebuild all that he has destroyed.
Usurper Alert! He is a usurper. His actions show his guilt. He is also a homosexual and had one of his boy toys murdered in Dec 2007, his name was Donald Young. See Larry Sinclair’s website or do a search of Obama and Young like I did. He is also a muslim. He is also a marxist. He proves that everyday. He hates America. He proves that everyday. He kneels upon muslim prayer rugs in Turkey, yet here at home, when he speaks at a Catholic University, he made them cover up all signs of Christ’s existance. He is possibly, the anti-Christ, and is most assuredly a major traitor. Foreign born usurper gay muslim marxist. Not that there’s anything wrong with being gay of course, it’s the other things that are bad. He’ll get a special place in hell for what he’s doing to our country. But now, let me tell you how I really feel...... : )
The Rocky Mountain News has reported (below) that Barack Obama "Holds both American and Kenyan (since 1963) citizenship." Is this true?

A: No. He held both U.S. and Kenyan citizenship as a child, but lost his Kenyan citizenship automatically on his 21st birthday.
The Rocky Mountain News did in fact run an online article asserting that Barack Obama holds both American and Kenyan citizenship. The article was incorrect, and the paper removed the item from the article and ran a correction. The paper's editor, John Temple, formally apologized for the error in an Aug. 15, 2007, column. Neither the correction nor the apology has prevented the column from circulating across the Internet as part of the latest set of baseless rumors that Obama is ineligible to run for president.
There was a grain of truth to what the Rocky Mountain News reported, though understanding why requires a brief history lesson.
When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children:
British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.
In other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC.
Obama's British citizenship was short-lived. On Dec. 12, 1963, Kenya formally gained its independence from the United Kingdom. Chapter VI, Section 87 of the Kenyan Constitution specifies that:
1. Every person who, having been born in Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963...
2. Every person who, having been born outside Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall, if his father becomes, or would but for his death have become, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of subsection (1), become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963.
As a citizen of the UKC who was born in Kenya, Obama's father automatically received Kenyan citizenship via subsection (1). So given that Obama qualified for citizen of the UKC status at birth and given that Obama's father became a Kenyan citizen via subsection (1), it follows that Obama did in fact have Kenyan citizenship after 1963. So The Rocky Mountain News was at least partially correct.
But the paper failed to note that the Kenyan Constitution prohibits dual citizenship for adults. Kenya recognizes dual citizenship for children, but Kenya's Constitution specifies that at age 21, Kenyan citizens who possesses citizenship in more than one country automatically lose their Kenyan citizenship unless they formally renounce any non-Kenyan citizenship and swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.
