Really Big! An entire Political Party LIED about their Candidate’s Eligibility! I fany of Us lie to a Federal Authority, we get 7 years in a Federal Prison! What about Obama, Axelrod, Pelosi, Hoyer, Frank, Reid, Kerry and the rest of the band of Communist Supporters and American Traitors? Do they go Free to continue to destroy America?
All right I am probably going to get flamed here but in my research on the birther issue it appears to me as long as he was born in the united states he is a US Citizen. The case that set this precedent was US vs Wong Kim Ark (1898)which dealt with a chinese couple who lived in california and had a son born there. They went back to China and when the son came back to the US he was denied entry for not being a US Citizen. The case went to the Supreme Court and in a 6-2 decision the court ruled the 14th amendment means that all persons born on US soil are considered natural born citizens. Here is an excerpt from the case;
“A child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution”
You can find the whole case on line and read it yourself. The decision is very long. And from every thing I have seen this decision has never been reversed and has actually been used as precedent in other cases. So if Obummer was born in Hawaii, no matter who his parents are, he is eligible for the presdincy. What I find funny is the two dissenting judges in this case pointed this possibility out. That someone could be born here and have both parents be loyal to another country but there child would be an American citizen. If I am missing something and some later case overruled this let me know.
