As with most after-birthers, your only getting it 1/2 right. Just as another country "has no right" to determine US citizenship "rules" or "laws"...the US has no right to determine the citizenship rules or laws of another country.

Barry stated on his campaign web site, that his birth was governed by a foreign country. The US has no right to tell that foreign country, they have no right to their citizenship laws. Barry, therefore, alleges he was born a dual citizen (assuming HI birth). The question for SCOTUS, and the country remains. Can a dual citizen, at birth, be considered a NBC of the US.

b.t.w. the whole idea of “Natural” born citizenship, is that it isn’t predicated on “man’s” laws or statue which are subject to change on a whim. Rather, based on Laws of Nature.

As with most birthers, you fail to understand the principles invovled.

"Just as another country "has no right" to determine US citizenship "rules" or "laws"...the US has no right to determine the citizenship rules or laws of another country."

Never said they did. The birthers, on the other hand, disagree. They think other countries can determine the status of Americans born in America.

"Barry stated on his campaign web site, that his birth was governed by a foreign country."

You've already been asked twice to explain that phrase, "governed by a foreign country".

"The US has no right to tell that foreign country, they have no right to their citizenship laws."

Nobody is doing that. You are not understanding the principle.

The US isn't telling the other country anything. The US doesn't care who the other country claims as a citizen by birth. It doesn't affect the status of that person in American law. It's concerned with who is an American citizen in American law.

"Barry, therefore, alleges he was born a dual citizen (assuming HI birth). The question for SCOTUS, and the country remains. Can a dual citizen, at birth, be considered a NBC of the US."

See, at the top here you already agreed that another country has no right to determine US citizenship rules, but now you are asserting they do. No, the law on this is clear. There is no legal question to be resolved.
