“How do we know Obama’s mother met this standard?”

Wow, someone who actually looked at how “natural born citzen” was defined under the law. What are you doing slumming in FR where apparently the actual statute is trumped by what people “know”?

BTW, his mom was 18 when he was born, so she cannot have met the standard. Therefore, Obama is a US citizen, but NOT a “natural born” US citizen. That makes him ineligible to be President under the Constitution. But nobody seems to care. I mean who gives a sh#t about the actual laws and Constitution in moderm dumbed down America? Certainly most freepers don’t, or these concepts are just too complex for them to grasp (scary thought).

You are the one (among others) mis-reading who/what situations the statute is intended for!!!!

This is not rocket science, people!

There is also no statute defining "natural born citizen," but the consensus among scholars and in the case law is that it means someone who was a citizen at birth automatically, as opposed to someone who needed to go through the naturalization process or some other operation of law. So BHO qualifies.

If you have a single piece of actual information to the contrary, I'd love to see it. If your response will just be to continue to tell us how stupid we all are, well, then I guess I'd rather not.

Since Obama is a citizen, but NOT a natural born citizen, he cannot become President. Good work piytar.

We need to make sure this news goes out to the MSM so everyone will know.

Guess it’s gonna be Hillary vs. McCain. Too bad, I believe Obama would be easier to beat.
