“Blood relationship is a key component of U.S. citizenship law.”

It is well established international law going back to the founders that the child of a legally single mother has only the unitary citizenship of the mother. I believe that this is why Barry is suddenly claiming to be a bastard in the very week that this case comes up in GA.

Only a child of a legitimate (non-bigamous) marriage becomes a UK subject at birth regardless of “blood relationship” and without UK citizenship at birth Barry is not a dual citizen, thus much more likely to be considered NBC, IMO (only SCOTUS could decide).

See my comments #289 and #316

I don’t subscribe to the theory that dual citizenship is the problem with Obama. The issue, as I see it, is the citizenship of Obama’s parents. He does not have two U.S. citizen parents. That’s different from Obama himself having dual citizenship.

Other countries’ citizenship laws do not negate U.S. citizenship laws. Each nation has the right to declare who are and are not its citizens.

If Germany declared my father, who was born in the U.S., a citizen because his grandfather was born in Germany and my father’s German citizenship passed to me at birth giving me dual citizenship, that wouldn’t change the fact that I was born on U.S. soil to two U.S. citizen parents and am a natural-born citizen.
