"SO WHY IS HE IN THE WH?"

Because 50% of the U.S. put him there.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 makes him a citizen at birth. You’ll find it in the third major section of the law, the section beginning with 300, Nationality.

There’s nothing wrong with needling him about being born in Kenya, but an understanding of the facts at issue is important.

What is a natural born citizen.

This is the heart of your question.

I think that the information we have is such that there are two possible opinions on this topic.

The first is that our president's father may not have been legally married to our president's mother (as he had an earlier wife in Kenya). If that is the case would a single mother giving birth in the USA to a child not have that child be “naturally born?” Remember your argument seems to hinge on our president being born in a way that he had dual citizenship. If there are dual citizenship records for him, then yes, he is not a natural born citizen. If there aren't then he might be argue that his father's marriage to his mother was not legal and so he was a full US citizen at birth by an American mother within the USA.

Second, the question is what is a natural born citizen. We know what the Original Constitutional provision states and if there was a legal marriage and he had dual citizenship, then yes, I think perhaps he should not be eligible to be President under the Constitution as it was written long ago. But there have been amendments and there have been interpretations by the courts of citizenship and some of them use the terms natural born citizen. Under some of those changes that I have read, one could make a compelling argument that our president is eligible to be in the White House (as despicable and incapable as he may be).

I think folks would spend better time checking out his early school records to see if he claimed to be a foreign national, if he had a non-US passport, and why he seems to have had multiple social security numbers.

As to natural born, I will leave that one along, as I between what has been produced (which I believe was doctored) and the INS report on his father that says he had a child in Hawaii, are pretty compelling (although I do want to read the new book out to find out what has been found by that Harvard graduate in his research.)

Call me a rule of law (as amended and interpreted by the courts) kind of guy.

Under The Constitution, if every person in the US voted for 0bama, he still should not qualified be in the WH.

It was much less than 50% wasn't it? I thought Nader and Keyes siphoned off some of the Conservative votes.
