Obama has never tried to get a UK passport, nor to become a citizen of Kenya...so he is NOT a citizen of either in the eyes of our law.

Whether he exercised it or not, Mr. Obama/Soetoro had the legal right and option to choose British, Kenyan, Indonesian, or, if he were born in Hawaii, American citizenship upon reaching his majority.

A "Natural Born Citizen" would not have had these options. Which I suppose is a backwards way of defining NBC!
The first two choices, British or Kenyan were because of his father's citizenship. When adopted by Soetoro, he became an Indonesian citizen by adoption. However, if he had been born in Hawaii, he was a "Native Born Citizen" and would have been free to reassert that status upon reaching his majority, or free to remain an Indonesian citizen.

It is entirely possible, although unproven, that Obama/Soetoro is a "Native American Citizen," but only if he were born in Hawaii. If was born in Kenya, he probably would not be a citizen at all because of his mother's age and the residency requirement of 5 years after her 14th birthday to pass on citizenship.

It is completely impossible that he is a "Natural Born Citizen," according to the traditional view.

To those who disagree, and to those in the GOP who do not wish to make an issue of all of this, I must respectfully hoist the signal: Tango Sierra. I and those who agree with me in kind and degree, are absolutely owed a day in court by our government to have this case, which goes to the Constitution, heard on its merits. My team might lose. And that does not frighten me in the least, for what we seek is an answer.

On the Obama/Soetoro moniker: Obama was asked off the Illinois Bar, and resigned under sealed circumstances. It is perhaps explained best by his Bar Application, upon which he denied use of any alias, hid traffic violations, and failed to report drug use.

In regard to the alias: The putative Hawaiian BC would have been amended upon adoption to reflect his new name, Soetoro etc.. Legal use of the name Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. would have required legally changing it back, of which there is no record. And it is common knowledge that he used various names and combinations.

Your definition of NBC varies from the meaning of the legal term in use at the time the Constitution was written...

Newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Elana Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship. Now she may help rule on them as a member of the court.

Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on and on and on... Once again the US Senate sold us out! Well, someone figured out why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court..... Pull up the Supreme Court's website, go to the docket and search for Obama. She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship. He owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of course. They were never heard. It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer.

It's all about payback time for those who compromised themselves to elect someone that really has no true right to even be there.

Records of these hearings show Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama. Links to SC docket are: Here, here, here, here, here, and here
