If President Obama was born in Hawaii was it while the islands yet remained a territory of the United States?
A new wrinkle in the dispute over his birth – and whether he is eligible to be president under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that the president be none other than a "natural born" citizen – appeared today when Obama's MySpace page confirmed his age is 52.
That would mean if he was born on the islands that now make up the state of Hawaii it would have been during the archipelago's days as a territory for the United States, the status for the islands from about 1900 until it became a state in 1959.
It also conflicts with campaign and other White House information that have discussed his 48th birthday just a few days into this month.

It’s plausible. If one had to disappear witnesses, colonial Kenya would have been the place.
They kept public hanging as the penalty for murder well into the 1950’s, as a deterrent, long after nearly every other corner of the British Empire had done away with it.
Do you actually think the POTUS, would even care about a myspace page?
Absolutely not tired. He didn’t show us the Original BC so he ignored the Constitution too.
It's nice to have beliefs.
Here are the facts:
In 1917, the Jones-Shafroth Act granted Puerto Ricans U.S. citizenship. All persons born in Puerto Rico after 1941 are considered natural-born citizens of the United States, one of the constitutional requirements to be President the United States.
OK, but how about a 9 year old girl named Anna?
Stanley Ann Dunham was born Nov 29, 1942.
BTW I don't doubt Davis is really Hussein's dad.
“Do you think John McCain was elgible?”
Not as a Republican candidate.
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.
Google is your friend.
Not without open primaries
“I think it is time to just drop it and lets concentrate on the Constitution and how ZERO is ignoring it! ! ! ! “
I can walk and chew gum at the same time!!
How about you?
Robin, given the Sebelius “misspeaks;” the daily Tracking polls tanking (so early and so fast); I look for an “uptick” in Birth Certificate obfuscations. This little FaceBook bio blurb being “one” of them. Diverting attention away from topic and adding to the one the media trivializes the most.
Your understanding is flawed.
Birth on military bases or in embassies does not qualify one to be a citizen.
Puerto Rico is not a US territory, it is a Commonwealth.
Not all citizens are Natural Born Citizens.
McCain was not born on the base, nor in the Canal Zone.
But, but, but....
Bush lied and peopled died!!!
they need to add “Obama Who’s Your Daddy? to the sign
I think this applies.
“Americans Born Overseas
The birth of a child abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s) should be reported as soon as possible to the nearest American consular office for the purpose of establishing an official record of the child’s claim to U.S. citizenship at birth. The official record is in the form of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America. This document, referred to as the Consular Report of Birth or FS-240, is considered a basic United States citizenship document. An original FS-240 is furnished to the parent(s) at the time the registration is approved.”
The only parent we can be certain of is the mother.
Sure...just kidding. I like pinging the pres.
McCain was born to two US citizens, unlike our Messiah.
