Please... it shows he was born in Hawaii, which means he IS a natural born citizen. Period. End of the story.

Nope!

“James Madison

In a speech before the House of Representatives in May 1789, James Madison said:

It is an established maxim, that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth, however, derives its force sometimes from place, and sometimes from parentage; but, in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States.[13]

[edit] John Bingham

John Bingham stated in the House of Representatives in 1862:

Who are natural-born citizens but those born in the Republic? […] [P]ersons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians.[14]

He reiterated his statement in 1866:

Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.[15]”

His father was a British subject.

Obama cannot be a ‘natural born citizen’.

Period.

You never studied the Constitution in school, did you.

Notes from the constitutional debates show that the delegates understood the meaning of Natural Born Citizen to be a person with two parents who are/were U. S. citizens.

The NBC class of citizenship is much narrower than the citizen class. He is a citizen, but he is not a Natural Born Citizen, and that is a fact.

The father has to be a US Citizen for a person to be a Natural Born Citizen. Clearly Kenya doesn't qualify.

To a foreigner and a woman too young to confer her citizenship?

Wrong. It shows he’s “native” born. Period. End of story.

did he not state in his book he was named Barry but later changed his name to Barack later on in his life?

I believe he did so how on earth can his short form which has been shown today state Barack?
