Hawaii was made a state in 1959. NObama was born in 1961. Hawaii was a state when NObama was born- but I certainly do NOT believe NObama was born on USA soil. I think he was born in Kenya.

I think he was born in Kenya.

Therein lies the rub. There is plenty of incentive for an unwed mother to want to get her child declared to be a US citizen. If there were any way for her to fake a birth certificate, using any of the known ways to obtain a Hawaiian birth certificate that don't require an attending physician to sign off as having actually witnessed the birth of a child, then motive and opportunity are present.

So I won't argue with your belief. The uncertainty is reasonable, and the reason I think he should be required to prove his citizenship.
