[null and void]

I’ve been saying that, to the best of my knowledge, not a single the birther said anything about this legal theory until October or November of 2008. If that’s wrong, please cite.

We danced all the way around on 7/8/08:

Then kabar nailed it on 7/19/08: What would make it real murky is the fact that his father was not a US citizen.

In the first link the discussion appears to be regarding McCain and his birth overseas.

In the second link, the discussion appears to also be in regards to overseas birth.

I don't agree with BladeBryan's assertion that no one one at all mentioned this on FR back then. I recall, but cannot find a substantiating link, that at least one person brought the 2-parent with domestic birth thing up. I also have a hazy memory of reading an article on the concept in early 2008, but again I cannot back this up.

But, the record stands that in spite of BHO’s parentage being well known since 2004 when he was first touted as a possible candidate, this 2-parent things wasn't a big issue before the election. It was all about the birth certificate because Birthers had themselves convinced that BHO was born overseas.

Interesting. Just a few posts later you were focused on the BC too.

The issue is not citizenship, the issue is whether he is a natural-born citizen. From the number of such comments here, it seems that there are a lot of people don’t know that there is a difference between citizen and natural-born citizen. Having only one parent a citizen makes it possible that “natural-born” does not apply.
