President Obama hopes to finally end questions about his citizenship with the release of his long-form Hawaiian birth certificate.
Obama said in a brief appearance before the cameras Wednesday morning that he decided on the release because the conspiracy theory over where he was born had eclipsed the debate on the budget.
We do not have time for this kind of silliness, Obama told reporters. Ive got better stuff to do.

So that is my explanation of how someone can be a Natural Born citizen if both parents are not citizens.

That is . . .
after all this time to fabricate . . .
what they are holding out as . . . the BC.
I feel it is up to some of us that are not in the so-called "Birther" ranks to bring up the flaw in your statement.
Those that have asked for the Long Form Birth Certificate have done so for two reasons. First they believe that the Constitution's specific wording of "natural born citizen" precludes certain people that might other might otherwise be citizens not requiring naturalization and the full and actual birth records would answer how a son of a British Colonial subject meets that qualification. Secondly they have seen all sorts of false and misleading documents issued earlier. As it is obvious that large sums of money and great effort has been expended to not produce a simple document we all have been called for to produce in the course of our lifetime, the obvious question is, "what is trying to be hidden."
The Electoral College and the House actions regarding the election have obviously taken place. The various State officials certified the election results without commenting or qualifying. He was Inaugurated and sworn in by the Chief Justice. The Constitution gives only one format for removal from office so no civil or statute court action could save us from the actions of our country in making him President. Subtleties of native born citizen versus natural born citizen sound like so much Jim Crow "poll tax" issues to most of our countrymen. In the last fifty years we have entered an era where all the social standards for legitiment birth, parantage and norms of the prior era have been set aside in not only society, but law in many cases.
There are hundreds of marxists that could stand in his place or be elected next time and it is the policies that have to be defeated, not this scam artist alone. That being said, I am not going to dismiss the "Birthers" as carpers about his birth place alone -- there arguements are detailed, extensive and honest -- I just don't think they matter.
You are incorrect. Your father has to be a United States citizen.
You are describing a citizen. A naturalized citizen.
a natural born citizen is different. The reason the founders included the language was to insure the person occupying the top seat would have no other allegiances.
If your parents were citizens of another nation when you were born, they you could have split loyalties.
There is a significant and deliberate reason for choosing the wording as they did.
Why does it say daddy was AFRICAN?? In 1961 ??????
I believe adoptions are sealed.
I agree with you absolutely. The criteria was based on parental (TWO TO TANGO) citizenship AND LOYALTY.
Naturalized, refers to people born elsewhere and have changed their allegiance to the US and the US has accepted them as citizens. They are Nationalized citizens and are not quite Natural born citizens in that their citizenship can be taken away. And they cannot be president.
This is not a “long form” BC.
It is the very short form COLB, and looks to be a fake, more so than the first one.
Shouldn’t Ann’s occupation be Student???
Where was she when she was pregnant???
If Obama’s birth certificate was so innocent - why did he spend all that time and money refusing to produce it???
What are the light X and the light numbers on that document

>> “Ive read that the oft repeated spent millions comment as originally reported in WND is not true.” <<
.
You have not read that from an honest, reliable source, that was pushed by Pollutifact, which is just yet another Soros funded propaganda mill.
You’re cutting the phrase off too soon - it’s “a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution”
There are two options: the one above, or that of being a natural born citizen. Since Obama was not a citizen at the time the Constitution was ratified, he must satisfy the other requirement.

Are you really that ignorant?
New born children travel under the mother’s passport; all that is required is a visit to the nearest US Consulate for a stamp, which in this case would have been less than 10 miles away.
