> Palin Made a Mistake [on Obama's Eligibility as President]

Really - so she "made a mistake" to question Obama's eligibility and divided loyalties
to other nations, and that Obama places other nations AHEAD of the United States?

1) As first a British citizen, then later as a Kenyan citizen?:

“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.


2) As an Indonesian citizen (Obama adopted the surname and citizenship of his step-father Lolo Soetoro):

3) Plus current examples of his acquiescence of American sovereignty to other nations:

Again: "Palin made a mistake" to question Obama's eligibility and divided loyalties to other nations?!

REALLY??!

....divided loyalties to other nations?!

From Vattel's 'Law of Nations':

§ 212. Citizens and natives. The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.




Any questions why the founders put the natural born citizenship requirement in the Constitution?
