Perhaps, I am wrong. Lord knows I make mistakes, but isn’t this the case where Donofrio acknowledges Obama was born in Hawaii, but his father’s status and maybe his mother’s makes him not able to serve as president? I happen to believe that if Obama was born in Hawaii, then he is eligible. All children born on American soil regardless of their parent’s status are natural born citizens.

All citizen born on American soil are “CITIZEN” Natural born citizens must have been born here and have TWO parents who are also citizens. The POTUS is the only person required to have this status......

To better understand, READ Cort’s case. Do you need a link?...

READ READ READ You’re spouting the lines without doing the work....Now you have several more hours of homework to do to catch up.

WORK IS NOT A four letter word.

We'll have to agree to disagree. ;o)

Yes, Donofrio did not base his case on where Obama was born.

I've seen good arguments from both sides regarding the issue on natural born citizen and how it relates to having one alien parent, yet, the child is born on US soil. I do not think that it has been defined conclusively in law, when applied to eligibility for POTUS. If it was, we wouldn't be reading the thousands of posts that exist on hundreds of threads, where two different trains of thought about the NBC issue continues to be debated without end.

I believe that the framers of the Constitution wanted zero influence, allegiance or loyalty from a foreign state, in regards to the U S Presidency. My impression is that they set the bar as high as they could; birth on U S soil and birth to two U S citizens.

I'm pretty well burnt out on the back and forth arguments. I plan to stand down until the SCOTUS gets involved. Drive on! ;o)
