I’m not fond of this angle that Donofrio is peddling.

Neither am I.
I didn't even in know it was a legal requirement (that your father could not have been a British subject at the time of your birth...). This seems to be an overly arcane technicality. Being born in a foreign country, or perhaps having his citizenship renounced because he became a citizen of Indonesia -- sure, I can get behind these as being as disqualifiers... But this having one's father being a British subject at the time of birth garners no more from me than a shoulder shrug...

It's more that that though. Barry himself had British Citizenship at birth as well.

No matter where someone was born, would you then be OK with someone having been born with Chinese Citizenship at birth (i.e. dual citizenship) being the Commander in Chief? How about a dual Russian/U.S. Citizen? Or, French/U.S. Citizen? Is that what the Constitution allows? Was that the intent of the framers when they put that requirement in our Constitution?

I don’t know if Obama was born in HI or not. What I am certain of is that he is lying about something. And it may very well be that something could be who his father is.
