For instance, Ralph Nader is the son of immigrants. I'd say there's a fair chance he was born with dual citizenship. He's run for President three or four times, and made a pretty substantial impact once. Yet no one ever asked him about his parents' citizenship status at the time of his birth during ANY of those campaigns.
Oh, really?? Then it's way past time to challenge Nader on his citizenship status.
You're good at 'topic sliding' I'll give you that.
So to reiterate, the evidence you present that Obama was born in Kenya is:
- A Swahili-translated telephone conversation from October 2008 with Obama's step-grandmother, where she said that she was "present" for Obama's birth, before stating in her next comment (and several minutes of subsequent comments) that he was born in Hawaii, not Kenya.
- A morning-show radio call from November 2008 to a Kenyan official who may have never met Obama and has no reason to know where Obama was born.
- Some ambiguous parliament floor comments from November 2008 made by Kenyan legislators who have never met Obama and have no reason to know where Obama was born.
In other words, after a year and a half of people suggesting that Obama was born in Kenya, and searching for evidence to support that suggestion that he was born in Kenya, that's what you have? A couple of comments from unknowledgeable third parties and a mistake from his grandma? One set of ambiguous comments and two statements from non-native English speakers who were asked leading questions over the phone? And nothing that could have actually instigated the rumors in the first place, or carried them for the first six months of their circulation?
The fact that that's ALL there is after a year and a half of talk is only further evidence that the rumors are, and always were, unsubstantiated.
Oh, really?? Then it's way past time to challenge Nader on his citizenship status.
The point of mentioning Nader is this: if no one, anywhere, accused Nader of not being a natural born citizen in 1996, or 2000, or 2004 because of his parents' citizenship, then it rather strongly suggests that there is not and never has been a parental citizenship requirement to be an American natural born citizen for the purpose of the Presidency. The 'two citizen parent'/'no dual citizenship at birth' definitions (which aren't synonymous, even though people tend to talk like they are) were practically created in summer 2008 to advance the theory that Obama was ineligible.
