So if Obama wanted to be President why didn’t he use Natural Born Citizen on his website?

1. A “natural born” citizen is any person born of US citizen parents (that’s two) in the U. S. mainland (includes Alaska and Hawaii) — think Ronald Reagan — in this case, parentage is important AND birthplace is important.

2. A citizen “by statute” is any person born of US citizen parent(s) outside the United States — think John McCain — in this case, parentage is important AND birthplace is not important.

3. A “native born” citizen, is any person born in the United States mainland — think Barack Obama — parentage not important AND birthplace important — a.

4. Parentage not important AND birthplace not important — a “naturalized” citizen is a citizen as the result of a process — think Arnold Schwarzenegger.

A statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature).

Do you care what obama says? I don’t. Since Obama *IS* President, whatever he did on his website didn’t hurt him that much, did it?

“A statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature).”

Please back up this claim with a cite of US law or court ruling. There is no basis for this claim.

Your ‘natural-born’ and other definitions are simply made up and have no relation to actual US citizenship law.

Assuming you’re correct:

1) the U.S. Constitution did not exist until it was written with a pen,
and
2) there was no U.S. before there was a U.S. Constitution,
therefore
3) there are no U.S. citizens.

Sorry, I meant there are no natural born U.S. citizens.
