Imagine for a moment if Kenya were suddenly a failed Islamic state like Pakistan or the Sudan...

What if POTUS had to take military action against Kenya?

The definition and intent of “natural born citizen” becomes clear instantly, doesn’t it?

No, it doesn't. As Kenyan law no longer considers him to be a Kenyan citizen.

It has nothing to do with Kenyan’s laws. The poster is talking about Obama’s loyalties (you knew that). If someone feels more connected to another country than their own, any in/action on their part may have more to do with their own feelings than with what is best for the country they are in charge of. What in the world has that to do with Kenyan law?

No, it doesn't. As Kenyan law no longer considers him to be a Kenyan citizen.

Yes it does. The intent of the Constitutional clause natural born citizen is a safeguard against loyalties to another nation besides the United States as president. Obama once a citizen of Kenya defies the 'natural born citizen' clause.

you miss the point (maybe). BHO himself could have misgivings.

[jackofhearts]

But at birth he was a Kenyan/British citizen!!! Therefore, not a natural born U.S. citizen.

There has to be a difference between natural born citizen and citizen, right? If not, why did the framers specifically cite the term natural born citizen?
