Hello? Reality time:

Obama's mother was an American citizen - not that that matters. He was born in Hawaii. That makes him an American. Where his parents were born is not at all relevant, nor does it make him a "dual citizen" at birth. Automatic birthright citizenship is based on birth on American soil, and is generally unaffected by the legal status or citizenship of the mother or father. Donofrio's interpretation of the words "natural born citizen" are not supported by law or interpretive history, and would have rendered John McCain an invalid candidate as well. Because the State of Hawaii vouched for the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate, it's over.

Time to call Sancho Panza and the donkey and ride home.

They vouched for the authenticity of his BC, but not of a Hawaii BC. Quite a difference.

Um, hello? Reality?

You need to read up on the laws because you are INCORRECT.

According to the law at the time, his mother was not old enough to transfer automatic citizenship to her child if he was born out of the country.
