Actually, there is plenty of doubt whether he’s a citizen at all although, as you say, that’s not the point.

If he was born overseas, his mother was too young to confer citizenship. She then married an Indonesian who, I believe, adopted Obama. There is also plenty of speculation that he received assistance as a foreign student, which is why all of his college records are sealed.

I cannot be categoric about this, but I have read in many places that his very first U.S. passport (as opposed to being included on his mother’s as a child) was when he became a Senator, which did not require production of a birth certificate or other proof of identity. His prior overseas travel was most likely done on an Indonesian passport.

So, yes, there is some doubt about his actual citizenship but the main question is how - and how quickly - can it be established that he is NOT qualified to be President under the Constitution.

You know I, too, have often heard something long those lines, but I have never been able to find in legal basis for that opinion.

Do you have any?

Except he travelled to Pakistan for several months as a wandering young adult.
