“Mr Rogers, Obama was born a member of a foreign nation.”
Another country made it possible for him to claim citizenship. He did not. Indians are foreign nations located INSIDE the US, so births inside the US territory did not result in US citizenship.
But since birthers love to get their butts beat, go ahead and go to court arguing that Obama is a subject of Queen Elizabeth, and therefor ineligible to be President. That will get you laughed out of court even faster than claiming Minor determines NBC status!
Really - how many times do y’all have to get laughed out of court before you figure out your arguments are legally stupid? Unless and until you argue that WKA doesn’t apply to Obama - and that argument is weak, but certainly COULD be made - you don’t have any chance at all. It has gotten so bad that Obama doesn’t even bother sending an attorney any more...
Obama became a British citizen at birth via the automatic operation of British law that applied at the time.
Here's what the U.S. State Department says about that... "Each country has its own citizenship laws based on its own policy. Persons may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice." http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1753.html
Obama automatically became a British citizen at birth via his non-U.S. citizen British citizen father. The Democratic National Committee OPENLY ADMITTED that Obama's citizenship status is governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948.
Read the Act. It says nothing about any possible future claim to British citizenship. It says, "Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth" http://www.uniset.ca/naty/BNA1948.htm
