« “PRESIDENT?” CHESTER ARTHUR et al - WHY THEY AREN’T PRECEDENT FOR OBAMA’S ELIGIBILITY
THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION
THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION
At Barack Obama’s web site, the following admission:
“FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship
‘When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s 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…”
That’s 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 CITIZEN’S STATUS BE “GOVERNED” BY GREAT BRITAIN?
A natural born citizen’s status should only be governed by the United States. This is the core issue before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Barack Obama was born a British Citizen. That he was also born an American Citizen does not mitigate.
I don’t know how anyone gets past that.
British Citizenship at birth was unquestionably something the Framers excluded by their use of the restrictor “Natural Born Citizen” in Article II.
Were it not excluded, there would have been no need for the specific grandfathering of those who were American Citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted.

And that (plus the NJ SOTS admission that she did not fact check POTUS candidates constitutional qualifications) in a nutshell is the core issue of Donofrio v Wells.
That said, it is also interesting to note that at the top of the very same page on FighttheSmears.com, the campaign went out of its way to use a term that SOUNDS like ‘natural born citizen’, instead they stated that Obama is a ‘native born citizen’. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t think ‘native born citizen’ has any legal definition, and it certainly isn’t the same as ‘natural born citizen, which is what appears in the Constitution.

I find it quite interesting that they/Obama/fightthesmears chose these words to preface their cause to Obama’s citizenship:
quote “Smears claiming Barack Obama doesn’t have a birth certificate aren’t actually about that piece of paper — they’re about manipulating people into thinking Barack is not an American citizen.The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America. ” unquote
“Native” citizenship has been proven to mean something very different than “Natural Born” thus another blunder on Obam’s plight to decieve the public about his inelgibilty problem. Right there at the beginning.
I had never gone to the fightthesmears site, only the factcheck.org, interesting, did I miss this on the factcheck site too?
