Thank you. I know it seems obvious, but the original premise of this thread dealt with whether Obama was born in Hawaii, and some posters SEEMED to be arguing that it didn’t matter if he was born in Hawaii or not.

Well, there’s the difference in both arguments.

If he was born in the US, there is doubt he is a US Citizen. If were born outside the US and both parents were citizens, there is no doubt if he is Citizen. It’s the natural born that’s the kicker.

There was question about McCain being born in Panama while his father was assigned there. Personally, I don’t think that should be a problem because BOTH parents were citizens and his birth there would not give him Panamanian citizenship.

There are also questions about Obama even if he was born in Hawaii. Not him being a citizen, but being a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. By being born the subject of another nation, according to some, that means he is NOT a “Natural Born Citizen”. The citizenship itself is not an argument to my knowledge unless he was born outside the US.
