If a US serviceman or spouse gives birth to a baby in a German hospital outside the confines of the US base, isn’t that baby an American.

Of course. He's an American citizen.

Is he a "natural born" citizen -- not according to all existing case law, which refers to two American citizen parents and born in the US mainland.

I believe there is an exception for service members serving overseas.

And I also believe that all discrepancies regarding Obama have been rectified by retroactive immigration laws. Like his adoption by an Indonesian father, technically negating his citizenship, as was the violation of the laws of that time by his mother who remarried and then moved out of the country.

But, I do wish to register my appreciation for your comprehensive list of how thin Obama’s paper trail is.

That is a rather devastating indictment.

Anyway, cheers, and ignore my snarky tone. Can I blame it on the cloudiest June in Boston since 1903. And the rainiest, most rainy days, since 1942.
