I don’t assume she is lying at all.
Just struck by the irony that you can be removed from your job as a small town police chief if there is no proof, but not POTUS
Yes, I thought that was sort of ironic, too.
I think she’s legal under any circumstances because she was legally adopted by (that is, legally became the child of) parents who were undeniably citizens and of legal age. Unless this woman chose otherwise when she was 18, she’d automatically be a citizen.
Of course, not only don’t we know where Baby Barry was born, we don’t even know when he was brought here if he was born elsewhere. We do know that one of his parents wasn’t a citizen, however, and possibly his mother was too young to confer citizenship. But unlike folks in this tiny town, we’ll never be permitted to find out the details.
