Let’s engage in FACTS...not speculation.
Failure to present a ‘valid birth certificate’ does NOT equate to being born in Kenya....it equates to ‘a valid birth certificate wasn’t presented.’ [I would believe that Barack was born in Hawaii based on the newspaper notice posted shortly after his birth....my OPINION...and the limited fact it is based on.]
IMO - Barack has ‘gamed’ the conservatives....by allowing them to focus on the birth certificate, they have been kept distracted from what would be more embarrassing. What is KNOWN is that Barack’s mother married Lolo Soetoro - and Lolo adopted Barack...and he probably had Indonesian citizenship ‘bestowed’ upon him as a result of the adoption. This might have allowed Barack to attend colleges as a “foreign student” - AND IF HE HAD DONE SO...it would have been evidence that Barack was passing himself off as ‘foreign born’ (a BIG LIE)...or merely ‘Scamming the SYSTEM’ - neither would make for a good resume. Barack might have had travels to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport...again - evidence of a young man passing himself off as a foreign (non-American) person....nothing illegal here - but hardly a mark of a ‘true blue’ American.
His long term relationship with Frank Marshall Davis...a hard core communist - and Bill Ayers and wife Bernadine Dorn - anti-American terrorists - have never been fully ‘fleshed out’ as far more damning than that missing birth certificate. The potential ‘ghost writer’ of his first book (by Bill Ayers) again is worth more than a pursuit of that damn birth certificate....
That missing birth certificate is far less important that the release of his college records, or any records related to his law license...and why he relinquished it. (Ditto for why his wife relinquished HER law license.)
My family owned newspapers. I was born about the same time as the alleged BO and my birth was listed in papers across the country where the relatives lived. All it took back then was a phone call from Aunt Betty Lou.
He is not a natural born citizen and thus ineligible to be President, that is what is most important.
Equally disturbing is that EVERYONE in BOTH parties knew it.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.
The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
According to this standard the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible, he was born in Cambridge MA.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.
"Probably"? If you adopt a newborn from China, that child might become a US citizen through the adoption. I don't know. But if you marry a Chinese person with a 4 year old child, does that child automatically become American through the adoption? I don't know, but I really doubt it.
Don't you have to officially and explicitly renounce your US citizenship before a government official to lose it? Can a child really do that? Can a mother really do that for her child? And what parent would be crazy enough to trade US citizenship for Indonesian for her child in 1964?
This might have allowed Barack to attend colleges as a “foreign student” - AND IF HE HAD DONE SO...it would have been evidence that Barack was passing himself off as ‘foreign born’ (a BIG LIE)...or merely ‘Scamming the SYSTEM’ - neither would make for a good resume.
Where does this idea come from that there were oodles of money for Indonesian kids to attend US colleges as undergrads thirty years ago? There was money for Indonesian students who completed their undergraduate in their country who wanted to do grad study in the US, but colleges back then weren't begging for foreign undergrad students. Sure, a foreign kid with rich parents could always get admitted, but an African-American would have had a better chance of getting admitted and getting aid than a foreigner.
