« PRESIDENT? CHESTER ARTHUR et al - WHY THEY ARENT PRECEDENT FOR OBAMAS ELIGIBILITY
THE RELEVANT OBAMA ADMISSION
At Barack Obamas web site, the following admission:
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.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.

So why did it expire?

Barack Obama was born a British Citizen. That he was also born an American Citizen does not mitigate.
I dont 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 dont think native born citizen has any legal definition, and it certainly isnt 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 Obamas citizenship:
quote Smears claiming Barack Obama doesnt have a birth certificate arent actually about that piece of paper theyre 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 Obams 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?
