In the cover for a 1991 booklet, President Obama is billed as ‘the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, (who) was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.’
‘It is evidence – not of the President’s foreign origin, but that Barack Obama’s public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.’
President Obama released his birth certificate to the public last April. He said during a press briefing at the time that he was ‘puzzled at the degree to which this thing just keeps going on.’ He said: ‘We’ve had every official in Hawaii, Democrat and Republican, every news outlet that has investigated this, confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital.’
The internet took to the Breitbart story like wildfire, with both the left and right coming up with heated responses to the article. Media Matters for America, a politically progressive watchdog group, called the article ‘the latest instalment of the self-serious and wildly incompetent Breitbart.com-let “vetting” of President Obama.’ They point out an article published February 6, 1990 in the New York Times, which declares that Mr Obama, 28, was elected as the first black president to The Harvard Law Review. It read: ‘His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr Obama was born in Hawaii.’ Mr Obama submitted a book proposal to Simon & Schuster imprint Poseidon Press worth more than six figures in November 1990. The book, tentatively called Journeys In Black And White, was later abandoned for the autobiography Dreams From My Father.

Were and when was it settled? I would really like you to explain that to me.
Was it a court case? Was it passed legislation? Was it the 14th Amendment?
A link to an article or a post where you explained this would suffice.
And please don't say it's from English common law. Common law in America is precedence established from court cases, not "tradition" or some other BS.
Natural Born Citizen?
Islam?
Socialized medicine?
Abortion?
Homosexual marriage?
When you think about the selection of an ineffective GOP candidate, you couldn't invent anyone more perfect than Mitt Romney.
And if it is "settled law", as you claim, then you'll also need to explain why there have been so many attempts, even as late as 2008, @to change Article 2, Section 1.
If it's "settled" law then were are our legislators still seeking to change it after all this time?
I am sure they are working on that as we communicate in this forum.
Good question, I'll look forward to reading the response you get.
Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
It defies logic! If it’s already “settled law” then there would be no need to seek the changes being sought after.
I agree, that is why I’m looking forward to the posters response.
Too early for popcorn, unfortunately!
Me to. If there is one I’d appreciate a ping if it’s not too much trouble.
I’ll check back later to see if there is a reply and ping you to it.
He used to say that born on US soil with one citizen parent was NBC. Now it’s “any” person born on US soil is a NBC? That’s nuts.
Thanks for the ping.
I am confident that the truth will be revealed.
So basically Hamas or OBL could send one of their pregnant wives to America. She would have a anchor baby here so that one day their child could be POTUS?
I missed the birth in New York you mentioned. Is it in your forum posts?
Also what do you think of the book, I believe Pigeon (?) who says Obama changed his name in Canada and he was probably born in Washington state?
OMG, why are we even here wondering about this lunatic man's past?! Laws must be passed so we know who we elect. Who they are and who they bow too.
Thank you for pointing that out. Rove and Co. knew that you keep your man high and dry and clean and let others do the dirty work.
Mitt Romney’s father, George, was indeed born in Mexico, but to two U.S. citizens. Thus, George Romney was a citizen at birth, although arguably not a natural born citizen due to being born on foreign soil.
That might disqualify him from eligibility for the Presidency, but not his son. As far as we know, and there is no reason to doubt the official bio, Mitt Romney was born on U.S. soil to two citizen parents, thus making him constitutionally eligible.
I don’t like Romney for many other reasons, but his eligibility is not an issue.
No reply.
Maybe he will still.
And if it is "settled law", as you claim, then you'll also need to explain why there have been so many attempts, even as late as 2008, @to change Article 2, Section 1.

Your longevity doesn't render you with an immunity of any sort.
