“Obama’s mother is a US citizen at his birth. Therefore he is a citizen. End of story.”

Sorry but the US Constitution does not back up your claim.

A person must have been born in the United States of America as in on our soil. The reports are he wasn’t and that is why he hides his birth cert.

But exceptions were made for ‘natural birth’ in specific statutes for children of US public servants — and military.

According to what I just found, he’s right.

But I’m confused on why this lawyer would pursue this. His mother has never been questioned as far as her citizenship goes.

If it were that simple, McCain would not eligible either, having been born in Panama, or maybe on a US Navy installation in the canal zone, reports differ. (Someone needs to ask his mother, who is still with us, and appears to have her faculties intact.)
