This point, is exactly what I’ve been saying.

Since Barry was born with foreign citizenship by way of his father, and thus was a citizen of two nations at birth (this, of course assumes HI birth, yet to be proven) how in the world could he possibly be considered a Natural Born Citizen as required for Article II, section 1, clause 5?


Because under State Department regulations, “Citizen at Birth” takes precedence over any automatic granting of foreign citizenship to a child. There is no definition of Natural Born Citizen in US law or in the text of the Constitution.
Case law over three centuries has relied on the 14th Amendment: “All persons born...” There is no exception to “ALL” for presidential candidates in the 14th Amendment and since its ratification in 1868, there have only been two types of citizens: born and naturalized.
As I mentioned, the Indiana Court of Appeals specfically rejected the foreign born father argument in their decision that Obama is a natural born citizen for purposes of Article 2, Section 1. Their ruling of November 12, 2009 has yet to be appealed to any higher court.

Since there is no US law that states someone born with foreign citizenship is in fact a Natural Born Citizen, the question remains:

How can a Natural Born Citizen's status be "Governed" by Great Britain?
