She really must be a dunce. No matter that one of her parents is an American citizen. The Constitution clearly states that the president has to be born in the good ol’ U.S. of A. She was born in Canada, therefore ineligible to run for the presidency.

How about someone born on a US military base over-seas (with 2 American born parents)?

That would have excluded RINO McLame, wouldn’t it? Wasn’t he born in Panama?

"Dual citizenship does not disqualify someone from the presidency. PERIOD."

Naw, of course not. Having a Commander in Chief with divided loyalties is precisely what the framers were looking for, and exactly what the U.S. needs in this day and age.

These fuggers don’t give a rat’s ass about the Constitution — none of them.

Obviously not.

"Weren’t the first 7 presidents born British subjects too? I’m just sayin’...."

And they "grandfathered" themselves "past" the NBC requirement.

"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President;"

I'm pretty confident Barry wasn't a Citizen (i.e. alive) at the time of the adoption of this Constitution.

"That would have excluded RINO McLame, wouldn’t it? Wasn’t he born in Panama?"

McCain wasn't born on sovereign U.S. soil, and wasn't a NBC either. It could be one of the reason's why the (R)'s put him on the ticket, opposite the (D)'s non NBC candidate. McCain would have no "argument"...if it ever came to an actual court hearing, because he's not eligible either.

In Donofrio's suit, he alleged that not only was Barry or McCain not NBC, he also stated that Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero who was born in Nicaragua and was actually a (previously convicted felon) Green card holder when he was allowed to be placed on 5 states ballot's for the office of POTUS.

1.) Only a moron would think that national loyalties are carried on the chromosomes.

2.) Obama clearly does not have divided loyalties, as he is 100% an enemy of the U.S. and its Constitution, like many other evil natural born citizens.

3.) Your interpretation would make a mockery of our system. All some two-bit turd like Ahmadinejad, Castro or Chavez would have to do to screw with our electoral process is make a law granting automatic citizenship to all Americans and they'd eliminate an entire generation of people from being President. FOREIGN LAWS DO NOT GOVERN AMERICAN LAWS. Only you, Anthony Kennedy and U.N. worshipers think they should. The rest of us understand the concept of sovereignty.

Get a grip there!

Your right that foreign laws don't govern US laws. The reverse is true as well. So tell me then, how can the U.S. "prevent" Barry's foreign national father from passing his foreign citizenship on to his child?

It doesn’t prevent it. It doesn’t need to. Having possessed dual citizenship does not disqualify one for the being Presidency.

"I'm American. I've got dual citizenship," Granholm corrected him."

ROFL !!! Here they go again ... who's going to initiate the next bill to try to change the Constitutional eligibility requirements for POTUS ??

Granholm is the ultimate commie pig. As a graduate of Bezerkley, she wrote a doctoral thesis praising French communists. She’s stolen hundreds of millions - maybe billions - from productive Michigan communities and given that stolen cash to socialist pigs in Detroit and Lansing.

She’s protected by that slut traitor Michael Cox, Michigan’s RINO state attorney general. There’s more than enough evidence to hang granholm in court, seize everything she owns and throw her in prison for 200 years.

And she was re-elected to the governor’s job in 2006 by 57% of the idiots who infest the former great state of Michigan. The absolute worst socialist pigs who ever walked American soil live in Michigan, especially in Detroit.
