Even if Obama were born outside the U.S., that does not mean he isn't a citizen.

Please tell me you are not that stupid.

Or maybe you are. Do you imagine that all "citizens" are eligible to become President? If you think that, then you need to actually READ that durned old Constitution you've heard so much about. You'll find out that you must be a "natural born citizen" which means that you have to meet certain standards of birth and parentage. It is NOT automatic, and being born outside the United States certainly does complicate things, especially of one of the parents is not a citizen, and the other did not complete residency requirements.

There are three Constitutional requirements for eligibility to become President, and a President must meet all three. It's not good enough to meet two of them and expect a pass on the third. even if that would pass muster with your individual. personal standards. Thank God.

LOL Please copy and paste where I ever said that. Oh, that's right, you can't. I never said such a thing.

Indeed. And Obama was born of a natural born U.S. citizen mother who had not renounced her citizenship, which makes him a 'natural born citizen' even if he were born outside the U.S.

Good grief.

Hm. And I suppose this is supposed to demonstrate that you're a pleasant and reasonable man, and that what you say next will be equally reasonable?

Try again, FRiend.
