........ If the British subject 0bama, Senior, is his father, or even if Senior isn’t his father, but the birth certificate states Senior is the father, then it does not matter where Junior was born. Junior was a British subject at birth.


Obama wrote a book called “Dreams for My Father” in 1995. That was twelve years before he decided to run for president. In that book he detailed his father’s birth in Kenya.

The Supreme Court of the United States has had eight appeals challenging Obama’s eligibility: Berg v Obama, Beverly v FEC, Craig v US, Donofrio v Wells, Herbert v Obama, Lightfoot v Bowen, Schneller v Cortes, and Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz. The Supreme Court has chosen to reject them all.

Only one court in the nation has actually ruled on Obama’s eligibility and that court has ruled that parents’ nationality has no bearing on whether a person born in the US is a Natural Born Citizen or not. Therefore Obama was eligible to receive the state of Indiana’s Electoral College votes.

“Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by [the Supreme Court of the United States in their 1898 decision in the case of U.S. v.] Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States natural-born citizens.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, “Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels,” Nov. 12, 2009
