They’re barking up the wrong tree arguing where he was born. From an eligibility standpoint, it doesn’t matter. “Natural-born” means both your parents were legal citizens of the US at the time of your birth. The founding fathers didn’t want someone with divided loyalties or dual-citizenship to be president.

Obama’s father was not a US citizen, therefore Obama is not a natural- born citizen. Being born in the US makes you “native-born” but not necessarily natural-born.

Similarly, neither Marco Rubio nor Bobby Jindal are natural-born, although they are native-born. John McCain was eligible even though he was not born in the US, because both his parents were US citizens.

You are exactly right. But the communists machine in America made sure that he would become President. The active communists Democrats were probably working on this for many years and had the plan down pat. The same way the communists Democrat machine had the 2700 page Obamacare ready to go many years before they needed it. All they had to do was tweak it to fit what was happening at the time.

Actually he was born in Panama, a territory of the USA at the time and territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam and others are considered under the jurisdiction of the USA.

An embassy is also of course under the jurisdiction of the USA.

The NBC requires birth in the USA or its terrorities to two parents each of whom are US citizens.
