I see no way around Obama being a natural born citizen. Even if he was born abroad (which seems quite plausible) it wouldn’t matter, since his mother was an American citizen. One of my daughters was born abroad to my wife who was not an American citizen at the time (although she did subsequently naturalize). My daughter was deemed an American citizen by birth, by virtue of the fact that I am a citizen. She could theoretically be President, no? How is that qualitatively different from Obama’s situation? I really don’t see the issue.

His mother was not old enough to impart citizenship. As far as NBC being required to be president, this presidency has rendered that question entirely moot. Anyone on earth is eligible to run for the Presidency of the United States though he would probably have to be a resident to get any notice.

Lets say for a moment everything Obama said is correct. He was a citizen at birth. It would still question if he is even a natural born citizen.

Reason is when he went to Indonesia his mom put him into a public school. In order to be put into a public school in Indonesia they require a citizenship. Indonesia doesn't allow for duel citizenship's.

The question really is did Obama's mother lie to get him into school? or was she an honest person? If Obama's mom foraged the documents to get him into school then Obama is likely a natural born citizen of the US.

This case went to trial along with McCain's natural born citizen claim. The courts heard the case against McCain and he proven his case but refused to hear Obama's case.

I think you are correct....one parent must be an American Citizen...all military brats are CITIZENS.
