Here is where Fukino screwed up: natural-born....."A M E R I C A N" .....Citizen!!!
The wording American I never seen before, and nobody have ever referred to that either???
Fukino said she couldn’t say anything except what the press release specifically said, and Okubo said the release was approved by AG Mark Bennett. But they deny there is anything in writing between Bennett and Fukino about the statement.
I’m sure it took Bennett a long time to see the documents for himself, investigate the definitions of “natural-born” and approve the wording using “American” rather than United States.
Good to know that language so precisely-chosen that Fukino could not stray even a word from it was decided upon sheerly verbally, with no written trail. I wonder how much time we’ll find was spent on it.
I have spent literally thousands of hours researching this issue, as have several colleagues of mine. The contemptuous way these jerks are treating the whole issue has me livid.

That is an interesting word to choose for that statement. Even though popularly when the word "American" is said, folks typically know that the United States is meant...technically, Canadians are American's (as in North American) and Brazilians are Americans too (as in South American)...for two examples. Similar to the notion that Japanese are Asian's, just as Chinese are Asian's or that German's are European as are French.
So for her statement to say "natural-born American citizen" is really odd!
Likely someone from the administration instructed her to make a statement about "natural born" and she didn't have a clue of the meaning so she winged it making an idiot of herself.
