You are falling into the trap of the false dichotomy if you think there is a contradiction.
I think you should stop posting for a while and let Citizen Blade explain how citizenship laws work. He’s got it right.
1) “There are only two paths to American citizenship- naturalization and citizenship from birth.”
2) There are two paths to acquiring citizenship by birth: By blood (all people born whose parents are US citizens, subject to laws of Congress, are also US citizens at birth) and by birthplace (all people born in US and under the jurisdiction thereof are citizens).
Let’s look at what you said:
As to by blood, You nailed it! Well PARTS of it anyway... “whose parents are US citizens” parentS plural, BOTH parentS. As we all know and agree, one parent wasn’t an American therefore, this cannot apply. (More later about how even having both birth parents Americans still might not suffice to be legally regarded as a ‘natural born’ citizen).
His only path to being a citizen is to have been born in the US, and since
no valid BC has been produced,
AND
his Kenyan in-laws have claimed to be there when he was born in Kenya,
AND
Barack himself apparently said his mother was in Kenya 72 hours before he was born, AND
Airlines routinely bared late term women from long over water flights,
AND
the first sighting of itty-bitty baby Barack was 2500 away from his alleged birthplace,
AND
the newspaper birth announcement is of such low quality that it looks like it was set in more than one typeface
I’m not at all convinced he was born in Honolulu. Therefore I question his status as a ‘natural born citizen’ based on birthplace.
I do understand that you are quite happy to accept a electronic presentation of an altered document as Gospel Truth, I have higher standards. (At least with regards to legal documents!)
And we haven’t even gotten in to the deep woods yet: What EXACTLY does the term ‘natural born citizen’ mean?
Neither congress nor the courts have clearly defined it.
Last election cycle Sen. Claire McCaskill was sufficiently worried about this very point that she introduced a bill to declare McCain, Panamanian born of two American parents, qualified.
It still isn’t all clear.
The bill never passed as a law, only as a “sense of the senate”
