It matters a hell of a lot if he had dual citizenship and has lied about it. Dual citizenship, like naturalization, makes him ineligible to be President and Commander-in-Chief due to a question of allegience.

That would be under Article II of the U.S. Consititution.


It does not matter if he has dual citizenship. It does not matter if he lied about it. (These facts may cost him votes if they are proven, but that is a matter for the American electorate to decide, each individually.)

There is nothing in Article II that precludes Obama from being elected President. Barry is a natural born American, has never renounced his citizenship at an American embassy or consulate, and is eligible for the American Presidency under the Constitution and American law. I have disproven your assertions to the contrary. You have no legal leg to stand on. I might wish you did, but facts are facts.

As before my statement of the legal facts of the case does not constitute approval of Barry's candidacy or his possible election, both of which I oppose.

It certainly matters if he knowingly acted in a manner conversant with being a citizen of another nation, such as using a passport and presenting himself in foreign nations as citizen of another country.

Is he a natural born citizen? Probably. If so, why not publish his birth certificate? He hasn’t so far, for suspicious reasons, such as being born in Canada.

“Barry is a natural born American, has never renounced his citizenship at an American embassy or consulate, and is eligible for the American Presidency under the Constitution and American law.”

He call him “Barry” as though you know him personally; how interesting. Well, he is a damned liar on more that one level. Larry Sinclair has proved that - in spades!

He can be a citizen of the United States but still be ineligible to become President. Dual citizenship, being adopted by his stepfather and given Indonesian citizenship as a child, would not violate Article II of the U.S. Constitution if he never used his Indonesian passport after age 18.

But if he went to Indonesia in 1981 and swore he was a faithful Indonesian citizen just to go to Pakistan - it will be the stupidest act ever.
