OBAMA ADMITS HE WAS BRITISH CITIZEN AT BIRTH - AS SUCH OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF US

Whoa!

FYI

Yes, but don't you think that all Hawaiians would be automatically “converted” to US citizenship after the change of nationality?

[Keith in Iowa]

Not this sh|t again...

[cripplecreek]

The little girls will be along any minute now to whine about how it makes us look to talk about this.

[Jolla]

But doesn’t being born on American soil make him a citizen?

[null and void]

Assuming he was born in Hawaii, yes.

When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu

Hawaii became a state in 1959. He was born in Hawaii in 1961. That makes him a natural born citizen, regardless of his father's citizenship.

^^^OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES^^^

Umm, isn’t Hawaii part of the US?

[all the best]

I think British subject rather than citizen.

[Piquaboy]

Same sh!t different day.

WE can’t let an antiquated, pesky document like the Constituution stand in the way of what’s right.

Was he?

He says he was, but seems oddly unwilling to disclose his birth certificate.

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

Sorry, that particular dog won’t hunt. As a minor, he could be both a natural born US citizen and a UK citizen. This has been explored.

There are other legit questions about his citizenship status, though.

Yes. Prove he was born there and this entire conversation goes away.

[reagandemocrat]

Uhm, well, he’s really Zanzibarbarian.

[theDentist]

Unless there is a community named “Honolulu, Kenya”, I'm guessing you're grasping at nonexistent straws.

[RockinRight]

If he was indeed born in Hawaii, then he is also a US citizen and a native-born one at that.

While I dislike Obama as much as anyone, and I do have legitimate questions about his past, if this is how it works out, it doesn’t matter.

A child can have dual citizenship at birth - happens all the time. The fact that his British/Kenyan citizenship “expired” in 82 leaves him solely a US citizen, who was native born, assuming he was born in Hawaii.
