How dumb is this query?

If you are born an American citizen, you can be born outside the United States, like McCain and Obama. If you were not born an American citizen, like Ahnold, you are ineligible to be President.

Obama was born in 1961 in Hawaii, which was a state already, so he was born in the US. Even if he had been born in Hawaii before 1959, when it was a territory, he still would have been born a citizen.

Of course Hawaii is not physically connected to the rest of the United States, but maybe Huckabee will propose building a 4-lane interstate to connect it to California, in order to help the economy.
