Just curious here. I know for a fact that President Obama has not proven he is eligible, and that there is some concern his mother did not give birth in the US of A.
But does anyone actually KNOW that he is NOT eligible?
Don't get me wrong: I think all nominees for POTUS should have to prove their constitutional eligibility. He did not, and he should have, and still should. But there is no true evidence that he is not eligible, correct? I am not counting an elderly lady in Africa saying she witnessed his birth there - that could have been a misstatement.
“But does anyone actually KNOW that he is NOT eligible?”
We know he REFUSES to prove he IS eligible.
Yes. By Obama's own admission in his books and his fight the smears website. He affirms he is not eligible by virtue of his FATHER'S non-US citizenship status. Obama Sr. was a citizen of the UK, not the U.S. This has been hashed over and over on these threads. I suggest googling Leo Donofrio who presented an excellent summary of why this is so. Obama may be a citizen we really don't know - but natural born - no way unless both of his parents were citizens.
