.....So as you can see...it doesn´t matter if his father was born on Mars, he is a US citizen at birth because he was born here...the decision by the Supreme Court in 1898 was 6-2.....

baloney the parents were LAPRs lawfully admitted for permanent residence different from illegal aliens or temporary visitors oh and they only ruled the child was a citizen not natural born:

see section 14

If you are born in the US that makes you natural born...because you were born there. I was BORN in the US..I am a natural born citizen however, I hold citizenship in both Honduras and the US..I am not a natural born Honduran citizen because I was not born here. The US has went as far as concidering people born to US citizens outside of the US as natural born citizens. Example, if I have a child here in Honduras...my husband is a naturalized citizen of the US and I am natural born...therefore regardless of where he is born..even if it is China he is a natural born citizen of the US.
While it isn´t spelled out in the constitution it doesn´t take much thought to understand the definition of ´born´
The 14th ammendment says that all person´s born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States..so unless you can go and somehow show me that he was ever naturalized...show me the naturalization document please...or that he was not born in the US...in which you need to come up with that Kenyan birth certificate...he was indeed a natural born citizen. From what I have found and I will have to go back and find it I am sure..the law that you stick to that the mother had to have lived 10 years in the US after the age of 16 had long since been discarded BEFORE his birth.
If there were any merits to the case...you can be assured that the US Supreme Court would have visited it...but there weren´t and they said so.

Oh but see that is where it is disqualified when it comes to Obama..his mother was and always was a US citizen..not an immigrant.
