Just a question..suppose MalcomX is the papa..would that not end the question of the birth certificate problem and his status as natural born citizen?
Yes it could if he was born in the US. But someone way back on the long thread speculated that maybe he was born in Canada. Remember this was in the 60's and an unwed mother was frowned upon and even more so if she were pregnant with a black baby. It was said that they were more tolerant of such things in Canada so she was sent there to an unwed mothers home.
Lol...don’t spoil their fun.
Only that his natural father was an American. However, he was adopted by an Indonesian which negated his American citizenship (Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship apparently). Now, he didn’t get to choose this situation, but he, according to several postings, had to have an Indonesian passport in order to travel with his friends when he was in college and presumably an adult. Also, did he claim foreign status for financial aid? His expensive higher education had to be funded somehow, and his grandmother only worked in a bank, she didn’t own it.
Supposedly, changes in one’s citizenship status are recorded on one’s original or vault birth certificate, so whomever his father is and whatever his status was on the day he was born, it’s really about his present status of citizenship that concerns us.
Oh please, Malcom X isn’t his father and yes, it would end the eligibility issue, although it would prove he is a fraud and a liar.
Sure. It would also prove that Obama is a serial liar.
Your turn!
Yes, that would make him clearly a natural born American.
Also a damn liar, but that’s not exactly news.
It still leaves the adoption issue, and the use of another’s name is illegal so there is a lot of fodder still out there.
If he was adopted, his name is Soetoro. If his daddy is not Obama, his name is not Obama. If daddy and mommy were not married, he ought to have Dunham as a last name unless there are other documents that change that.
All that would still put the office in jeopardy.
