Even if Obama were born in the middle of TEXAS in front of over 1000 witnesses - it still doesn’t make him a “natural born” citizen. His father’s British citizenship - as well as the fact that he was an Indonesian citizen - is the REAL issue. I haven’t heard The Donald mentioning any of that.

I was born overseas in a US army hospital to 2 American citizens. I has always been my understanding because I held dual citizenship, I couldn’t run for POTUS. I have to show my papers for pretty much everything. Even John McCain had to prove his eligibility!!!

John did not prove his eligibility, he merely showed his birth certificate and the Senate declared how nice that was.

The issue is not dual citizenship. If you were born overseas to a citizen parent, in service to their country (USA), you are a citizen by birth. Not a “Natural Born Citizen”, but a citizen by birth as opposed to a citizen by statute, eg. a naturalized citizen. You can not be a “Natural Born Citizen” so you can not legally be president.

” Even John McCain had to prove his eligibility!!!”

John McCain proved his INeligibility by releasing his long form birth certificate showing he was born in Colon, Panama, a FOREIGN country. Like you, he is a citizen by birth, NOT a “Natural Born Citizen”.

Panama Canal Zone was NEVER U.S. territory. To be NBC you have to be born ON U.S. SOIL, It doesn't matter who your parents are or what they are doing. If you aren't born on U.S. Soil ..... STOP RIGHT THERE.... No need to go any further. No need to determine your parents status.

If you WERE born on U.S. Soil, THEN we can proceed to finding out the citizenship status of your parents at the time of your birth.
