Spiro Agnew's Father was a Non-Citizen
U.S. Census 1920 ^ | 1920 | U.S. Bureau of the Census

See line 72-75 and scroll over to the box that asks about citizenship. Theodore Agnew, Spiro's father, indicates in the box that he is an "al" (for alien). Young Spiro is shown on line 75. We now have two precedents against the birthers. The other is Chester Arthur. Both had non-citizen fathers and NOBODY in either case cared at the time. The controversy over Arthur was solely related to his alleged foreign birth.

So what’s Obama hiding? And why do some “conservatives” have their panties in a twist trying to defend him?

The last time I checked and checked and checked and checked ...Spiro Agnew’s dad was a US citizen at the time of his birth.

Do you speak of Senator Ted RAT-MA? A murderer that got re-elected numerous times.

Clearly, there is no reason for the Obamanista’s to hide the original BC then.

Nice spin there. The issue at hand was the question of whether the children of non-citizens were eligible. Do you have anything to say on that issue. I think that Obama should release all of his records including the BC.

Two wrong do not make a right....

well if he did resign, then he did the right thing.....

Okay, please tell me why the census record was wrong in stating Theodore Agnew was a non-citizen. I’ve provided documentary evidence. Where is YOUR evidence?

I want the ALL Presidents and Vice Presidents to be “natural born citizen.”

Jindal is not a natural born citizen.
Rubio is not a natural born citizen.

I will never vote for either for president. I will never play this game with any political party or candidates.

Obama is a usurper.

We now have two precedents against the birthers.

Let me see if I understand your premise.

If any crime is committed twice, and is not prosecuted, then everyone who comes after and commits the same crime has a "Get Out of Jail Free" card? No more prosecuting murder, because two murderers got away with it, eh? Two burglars weren't caught, so my property is free and clear for anyone to take? Two politicians weren't caught taking graft, so let corruption reign?

That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read on FR, and I even occasionally check the "UFO" files.

No, but the advocates of the theory that the children of non-citizens are not eligible for the presidency would certainly have to put him in that category.

Spiro T. Agnew was not president and he did not serve a whole term either. He resigned.

I fail to see the validity of that statement. If I had been mugged twice, I would still shoot the sob the third time, if I could manage it.

So Trump’s got agencies contacting agencies to produce official statements that are going to somehow lessen our shock when Obamma comes clean on the BC issue, which is only the tip of the document damning iceberg?

There is no BC and never will be a BC. Why? Because everyone knows that cyborgs are issued a certificate of activation, not a BC.

Neither Chester nor Spiro were usurping lieing Muslims intent on destroying America's identity and giving what's left to a 1200 year old creep in a well.

Ah...so it IS a double standard. I appreciate your refreshing honesty. I wish the same could be said for some of your birther brother and sisters!
