.....Natural Born..... .....Native Born.....

The State Department is maintaining a "counter-misinformation" page on an America.gov blog that attempts to "debunk a conspiracy theory" that President Obama was not born in the United States, as if the topic were equivalent to believing space aliens visit Earth in flying saucers.
However, in the attempt to debunk the Obama birth-certificate controversy, the State Department author confirmed Obama was a dual citizen of the U.K. and the U.S. from 1961 to 1963 and a dual citizen of Kenya and the U.S. from 1963 to 1982, because his father was a Kenyan citizen when Obama was born in 1961.
In a number of court cases challenging Obama's eligibility, dual citizenship has been raised as a factor that could compromise his "natural born" status under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. The cases argue dual citizenship would make Obama ineligible even if documentary evidence were shown the public, such as the hospital-issued long-form birth certificate that indicates the place of his birth and the name of the attending physician.
The entry "The Obama Birth Controversy" was written by Todd Leventhal, identified as the chief of the Counter-Misinformation Team for the U.S. Department of State. The office appears to have been established "to provide information about false and misleading stories in the Middle East," as described in a biography of Leventhal published on the U.S. Public Diplomacy website.

Here we go again. We need a supreme court ruling on the NBC issue and OB to open his files on birth location, school, passport etc. Can both sides of the freeper ongoing argument agree to this and stop arguing the same old points back and forth with no closure?
The problem is that the US Supreme Court has already said the original intent of natural born citizen is found in the common law phrase natural born subject. If you grant that - and they said it over 100 years ago and multiple courts have relied on it - then there is nothing for them to decide.
In common law, a natural born subject could have two alien parents. Now, does anyone really expect the Supreme Court to overturn 110 years of precedence to rule a sitting President is there illegally?
There is a reason no state DA or Sec of State has touched this, nor any member of Congress...
I stand by my statement.

When his agenda is stopped and the dem party is in ruins...the guy will go the way of Nixon.....he’ll be Nixonized...
No, they haven't said this at all.
Obama lost his United Kingdom (not "English") citizenship on Kenya's independence in 1963According to the Kenyan Constitution, Obama was an overseas British citizen at the time. Therefore Obama was a British and Kenyan citizen under a particular clause therein. The Kenyan Constitution is clear that dual citizenship was honored to those born overseas prior to the Act until they were age 21, or if at least one parent or guardian completed the necessary paperwork to instate the child as a citizen of Kenya.
Well, good luck trying to get the Supreme Court to address it. They made it pretty clear in 1898 - clear enough that no one has sustained a challenge to the idea in the intervening 110 years. The Indiana courts were in the mainstream of thought when they ruled that any one born in the USA is a natural born citizen.
And EVERY state has apparently concluded the same - any one could challenge the idea in court by simply passing a law (or getting a ruling from the DA) that natural born citizen does NOT allow a foreign citizen parent. Since that state would disagree with Indiana, it would force the Supreme Court to rule.
You can expect or hope for it to happen. I am certain it won’t. We’ll see who is correct. I’ve been wrong before, so I might be again.
That settles it. 0bama is not a natural born citizen and he’s not eligible to be the President.
In this instance, there is 'no doubt.'
She looks like she came from the movie, The Body Snatchers.
Both Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were duel citizens. Yet both ran for the Presidency without objection.

Once again WND deftly demonstrates something already well known...
