We only recognize 2 levels of citizenship in this country, not three. There are naturalized citizens and natural born citizens.

True. Native born is a canard that the afterbirthers use.

It would have been easier to disqualify him before the election than since. McCain’s camp didn’t raise this issue.

If you go back one year ago to the day, MANY OF US HERE WERE SCREAMING ABOUT THIS THIS ALMOST DAILY!...

Uncovering this now will have the result only of weakening his presidency not ending it.

That’s why the issue is bigger now and one of his lack transparency and secrecy.

We know nothing about this man. NADA. Nothing about the courses he took in college, his grades. His law school work or his work in the Illinois legislature.

His biographies are uniquely written and carry the air of a ghost writer, and that being William Ayers.

His response or I should say his calculated response to the Crawley/Gates incident botheres a lot of people as we fear that this guy is anything but a unifier because of his inbred and imbued racism.

I’m not an Obama hater or Kook, Mr. O’Reilly. I find your portrayal of people in this forum with these concerns insulting.

I also find that you are poorly informed on this entire issue. Your body language tells everyone that you are lying when you say you have seen the long form of the BC and that you can vouchsafe for Obama’s citizenship.

The BC is a side show.

There are naturalized citizens and natural born citizens.

Sure ... but there are several flavors of "naturalized". There is naturalized-by-statute, naturalized-by-treaty, naturalized-by-resolution, and ... after the 14th Amendment was ratified ... naturalized-by-birth. Perhaps there are others as well! Congress was given the ability to define "uniform" laws of naturalization by Article I. Where power is granted, power is abused. Is it any wonder a multitude of naturalization methods were introduced?

They aren't even different "levels". You are a citizen or you aren't. The difference is how citizenship is obtained.

If you obtained it by right of birth, because you were born in the US or were born to a citizen, then you were a "natural born" citizen.

If you obtained citizenship later in life through the immigration laws then you were "naturalized".

A naturalized citizen is not eligible to be President.
