On another thread, another FReeper cited and quoted Blackstone as pointing out that English law has never followed jus sanguinis.
Born on U.S. soil = natural-born U.S. citizen.
In Barack's case, even if he were born in a foreign country, he'd still be a natural-born U.S. citizen, because his mother and father were not properly married under U.S. law -- the father was still married to another Kenyan woman, which made his pretended marriage to Stanley Ann Dunham bigamous, null, and void.
Stanley Ann Dunham was Obama's sole legal parent, and she was a U.S. citizen. End of story.
Until, that is, Barry Soetoro's stepfather took him to Indonesia and naturalized him there -- which meant giving up his U.S. citizenship under Indonesian law. Did he ever get it back? Could he ever be "natural-born" U.S. again? Stay tuned -- I think that is exactly what Obama is actually covering up. Not his birth, but his renaturalization -- or the lack of it.
FINALLY someone on here brings up exactly what I’ve thought would be the damning to Obama.
It isn’t Stanley and any questions surrounding Obama’s birth that is the real question - it is his admitted, known and proven adoption by a citizen of Indonesia and Obama being legally a citizen of Indonesia.
If Obama regained his US citizenship upon reaching age 21 and returning to the US he become a naturalized citizen.
If he failed to disavow his Indonesian citizenship when reaching adulthood he is at best a dual citizen and at worst a illegal alien just like his Kenyan Aunt.
Under either scenario, Obama is not qualified given he owed allegiance to a Foreign Government.
