“BOTH PARENTS MUST BE U.S. CITIZENS AND THE CHILD MUST BE BORN ON U.S. SOIL”

Factually incorrect. A natural born citizen is anyone born within the United States. How do I know? Because I'm a natural born citizen and when I was born neither of my parents were citizens. I've done all the legal footwork on this. It's a fact.

This entire “Obama is not a natural born citizen” episode is very silly. Sure he could have stopped it early on but I think he's enjoying the sight of a bunch of people make fools of themselves.

I agree with you. Howver if Obama was born overseas, it is an entirely different matter.

I beg to differ with you on this. You would be a US citizen, but you could not be a natural born citizen. George Washington was born on US soil, but he did not have natural born status. This is why they grandfathered themselves into the constitution - they were not natural born. You could not be natural born!

HA, so when do you expect Bama to demonstrate a bunch of people made fools of themselves? He is hiding something because the lawyer fees alone are eating up a good chunk of that campaign war chest.

Zeke, move back to Move On before you try to sell us a couple of bridges in NYC.

Go back to your hole, nasty n00b ... and tell David Axelrod that the astroturf campaign doesn’t work at conservative sites like FreeRepublic.

You are absolutely correct. You are a natural born citizen as are my children. We do not have second-class citizens in America.

A citizen is either natural born or naturalized. Arnold Schwarzenegger is naturalized. He cannot be President. You can as can I and as can my children who were born to an immigrant mother.

So many people here are making stuff up because they wish it were true. And they are doing everyone a disservice.

That's what I said - "As much as I despise Obama and all he stands for, this citizenship thing is silly" - or something very similar. But if he was born in Kenya, and there is some evidence, then he is not a US citizen by birth. Now, I'm catching up here and I'm a few hundred posts behind on this thread, but I bet I'm not the first to tell you that.
