Does that include the children of fathers from foreign governments sent here to study?

Or are they the same as the children of Diplomats who have diplomatic immunities?

Obama Senior was sent here by his government to learn, he had to have had some sort of special visa to enter this country.

Our nation does not recognize the children of those sent here by their government under certain conditions as US citizens, meaning that if Obama’s father was protected by consular rights Obama may not even be an American citizen at all since the father’s citizenship is normally passed on in such cases.

I find it odd that now after the election we are hearing that not only was he a British citizen he was also a Kenyan citizen, how long before he has to admit he was an Indonesian citizen as well?

If that is true; that rule may hold for all the illegals running around with matriculas. Those monies are somehow laundered through the embassey that gives illegals the hands off status that the law has trouble with. How ironic that would be.

Diplomatic passports are alway clearly marked as such. If BHO Senior came here on a diplomatic passport the State Department would have record of it. And a student passport is not a diplomatic passport. Diplomats work in Embassies and Consulates, not classrooms.

The 14th Amendment states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are Citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside..." The children of diplomats are not natural born U.S. citizens because their parents enjoy diplomatic immunity and therefore are not subject to U.S. law. Foreigners here on student visas or visitors visas or the like do not enjoy diplomatic immunity. Their children born here are U.S. citizens.

I find it odd that now after the election we are hearing that not only was he a British citizen he was also a Kenyan citizen, how long before he has to admit he was an Indonesian citizen as well.

Look back at some of the bazillion posts on this subject and you'll find that Obama's campaign had acknowledged the dual citizenship weeks before the election.
