just updated their site to include this, since it is already common knowledge to us and the reason Leo is fighting the natural born clause, but I'll post this new update anyway! Just in case some of you don't know!
THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION
Posted in Uncategorized on December 5, 2008 by naturalborncitizen
At Barack Obamas web site, the following admission: FactCheck.org Clarifies Baracks Citizenship
When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdoms dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.s children
Read that last line again.
That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.s children
Thats an admission that Great Britain governed the status of Barack Obama, Jr. Brack Obama has chosen to highlight this on his own volition.
And this leads to the relevant question:
HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZENS STATUS BE GOVERNED BY GREAT BRITAIN?
A natural born citizens status should only be governed by the United States. This is the core issue before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Simple to understand: Just because a foreign nation also gives someone citizenship does not mean they can control US citizenship. In other words, just because Obama’s dad was British by means of being a Keynan, and they granted Obama British citizenship regardless of where he is born or to whom, does not mean the Brits cancel out any citizenship Obama may have been granted by any other nation. This means having a British citizenship is useless information regarding Obama’s birth in Kenya or the US.

If he were ‘governed’ by Britain, then he would be a subject and not a free man.
That’s the crux of the natural born argument. Subjects are not good governors free people.

HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZENS STATUS BE GOVERNED BY GREAT BRITAIN?In Barry's case, he either was born in Kenya or his father registered his birth at a UK Consulate within 12 months of his birth. Either one, in my opinion, put him in a tough spot because there can be no claim of "well, I had no control over what some other country was doing... it was automatic,"
No it wasn't. Either it was because he was physically there or because his father specifically acted to place him under the jurisdiction of the Crown. And that, my friends, is not good.
Now, the burden of proof as to citizenship has shifted and the claimant of NCB must prove it. Cough up the docs, Barry, or go home to Mombassa.
