Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.)



Here in plain English is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya. You seem to be keeping up with this issue. Do you know if it is true that Obama said on his website that he was a “citizen under the 14th Amendment”?

............

from obama's own site factcheck.org by way of fightthesmears on his dual citizenship at birth

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

Can we just have one thread on this instead of 800 with nothing new?

""Obama was born a dual citizen," "

I think I understand the process of acquiring dual citizenship, but how exactly is one born with dual citizenship? I guess it means (they think) he was born in Ameirca but had a Kenyan father who was a British citizen.

But, the Constitution does not mention or make any allowance for a "dual citizenship". It makes it pretty plain that the person must be born in America...a.k.a. a Natural Born Citizen of the United States.

The left is going to try every bit of word trickery and loophole they can find or invent to make this go away and their "buddy love" president elect in place.

But until this issue is lawfully settled, he will always be a foreigner to defrauded his way into the White House.

Just show us the [real] document.

When will we find out if the Supremes will, or will not, hear the case? Does anyone have a clue?

“According to Bredow – and the case the Supreme Court reviewed today – dual citizenship makes Obama ineligible to take the oath of office.”

That is not true.

If his mother was a citizen and he was born on US soil (Hawaii) he is a natural born citizen.

His dual citizenship, acquired from his British-citizen father does not play a role.

The strongest argument would be that he was NOT born on US soil, which is very unlikely to be proved.

I don’t claim to know how this will unfold, but dual citizenship is not the issue.

If they didn’t have something to hide, they could make this whole issue go away real easy. Has to give one pause for doubt.
