I have always thought the secret he has tried so hard to protect is that he is illegitimate. Parents unwed.
Could be, but so what? I couldn’t hold that against him. There are an unlimted number of things I can hold against him, but not that.
I doubt it. For one thing it would have given him more "street cred" in "the community", since the vast majority of them fit into that category.
Second, and more importantly, it would have at least made him a citizen at birth regardless of where he was born, under the law as it existed at the time. (or now for that matter). If his parents *were* married and there is some evidence indicating that they were, and he was not born in the US, then he would not have been a citizen at birth, and would not be a citizen at all unless later naturalized. Either way, no one would argue that he could be "natural born". But if his parents were *not* married, he'd have been a citizen at birth regardless of where born, although if not born in the US of at least a US Citizen father, he still might not be "natural born".
He's the only person elected to the Presidency whose parents were not both US Citizens, exceptig of course those who became US Citizens upon the creatoin of the United States.
Chester Arthur was not elected to the Presidency, but rather as VP. Although, his father was not a citizen at the time he was born, at least he did live here permanently and later did become a citizen. Neither of those is true of BHO Sr. Arthur took great pains to ensure that his father's lack of citizenship was not revealed, as indeed it was not, until many years later, when a copy of his father's naturalization record was found. He knew that he wasn't eligible for VP or President, otherwise why conceal the fact of his father's citizenship status at the time of his birth?
The same if true of BHO, why conceal something that doesn't make you ineligible, and is otherwise fairly common, more so today of course than in 1961.
Father - "unknown"?
or a known "other" than the one he had the audacity to dream about?
The actual secret reason hussein is trying to hide where it was born, is that hussein was not born in hawaii at all and not to American’s by any stretch of the imagination! True Americans take care of their own. This imposter hussein is just another communist plant! True Americans are waking up to this conspiracy and faster than a speeding bullet.
