Canadian citizenship hurdle to be U.S. president?

The governor of Michigan has pooh-poohed concern over her allegiance to Canada – she was born there and has dual citizenship in the United States and Canada – and whether that would impact her candidacy if she chose to run for president.

...

"Your two terms are up at the end of this year. Do you have any interest in moving here to Washington and working in the administration?" he asked.

"Are you offering me a job? No, I …" she said.

...

"No, I'm totally focused this year on creating every single job I can until the last moment," Granholm said. "December 31st at midnight is when I'll stop. So I have no idea what I'm going to do next, but I'm not going to run for president. I can tell you that."

Wallace then pointed out that she would be unqualified to run, anyway.

"We should point out Gov. Granholm is a Canadian and cannot run for president," he said.

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

After bantering about who she supports in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Granholm said, "I left Canada when I was 4. Come on."

...

At the Radio Patriot, radio host Andrea Shea King said, "Granholm's response is indicative of the mistaken belief that because one of her parents is/was a U.S. citizen, she's eligible."

"This woman took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Has she even read it?" King wrote.

"With this willful disregard of our founding document, is it any wonder that we have the son of a Kenyan-born British subject in the White House???" she asked.

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN'S STATUS BE "GOVERNED" BY GREAT BRITAIN?

 

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

It can't. Of course not. Yet, right there, on his campaign web site F.T.S., it's stated that a foreign government "governed" Barry from birth and the reason it did, was that Barry inherited that foreign citizenship by way of his foreign national father (no matter where he was born).
How, then, could he possibly be a "Natural Born Citizen" of the U.S.?
Barry Soetoro, the divided citizen at birth!

Furthermore:  Hawaii's Territorial Law, Chapter 57 - "VITAL STATISTICS, I", shown beginning pg 23 of 29, (the law in effect in 1961) allowed baby's born anywhere in the world to be eligible to apply for a Hawaii birth certificate based on the word of 1 relative. That is how a foreign born baby could get a HI BC on record, which in turn generates the "birth announcements" in the newspapers.

Obamas has proven that anyone with citizenship from any other country in the world can now be POTUS.

[Faith]

Good grief. She just doesn’t get it. (Or does she . . .)

Jennifer Granholm’s supposed Canuckistani loyalties are the LEAST of her problems should she ever be so foolish as to even consider running. Her record as Governor of the biggest $hithole in the US might give even a few moronic Michigan voters cause to think for once...

And what is that thing on her cheek?? Is it growing teeth..??

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

Not recognized by our government. I don't care if Mexico encourages their citizens to vote in US and Mexican elections. I don't care if Peter Jennings claimed to retain his Canadian citizenship after taking the US loyalty oath as he became a naturalized citizen after 20 years in the US (I believe to vote against Boosh).

Oh, she's done such a WONDERFUL job for our state! We'd LOVE to share her with the rest of the country!

[/sarc] in case you couldn't tell...

[Carley]

George Will once opined that the constitutional requirement to be a naturally born citizen be overturned so Granholm could be president.

Of course, that was when she was young and pretty and hadn’t actually governed for one minute.

Proving there is no fool like an old fool.

It does not matter as that thing (The Constitution) is just a document of negative rights and is to be ignored when inconvenient.

[editor-surveyor]

Yes, we’ve gone over all of this for almost two years now.

We know that he definitely is not a natural born citizen, by his own testimony.

We’re living in the land beyond the rabbithole.

[Frantzie]

I would take Canadian Steven Harper over Obama and most of the Repubs as well. He rocks.

[skimbell]

Chit, I’d take that loon Achmadinnerjob or WETF his name is over 0.

[Nekman]

She certainly has...you could say we have been blown away!!!

[Sloth]

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

[Uncle Chip]

"Granholm's response is indicative of the mistaken belief that because one of her parents is/was a U.S. citizen, she's eligible."

Yep -- she thinks that Obama's violation of the Constitution has amended it and thus opened the pathway for her.

Heck, fmr German chanellor Helmut Kohl, or French president Francois Mitterrand would be an improvement. I still maintain that Yasser Arafat as POTUS would be merely a lateral move from today’s regime.

or French president Francois Mitterrand would be an improvement

A man with the blood of a million Rwandans on his hands? I hope he's roasting in Hell.
