To the lawyers out there - why are they confounding the two questions, e.g. the question of where he was born AND the question of whether he holds citizenship in another country.
Being a “natural born citizen” of the USA does not prevent one from also being a citizen of another country, as the Supreme Court has already ruled exactly that. The confounding of these two issues separate issues may give cause to dismiss the case without determining his eligibility as a natural born citizen... no?

It is my understanding that someone running for President can not have dual citizenship. Obama has publicly admitted that he once had Kenyan citizenship. Therefore he would only need to show that his Kenyan citizenship was given up and that he made a “pledge” to the US to be considered a US citizen. If I am wrong about this, I hope to be corrected.
