Then so was Obama.

Why is this controversial? Whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii, by virtue of his mother's citizenship status, Obama is a natural born citizen.

“Why is this controversial? Whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii, by virtue of his mother's citizenship status, Obama is a natural born citizen.”

You tell me why that was controversial to all the conservatives that questioned it.

And from what I've read one parent does not make one an natural born citizen, a citizen yes but not a natural born one. It really doesn't matter to me - what I hate is the hypocrisy on the part of conservatives who ranted long and loud about Obama’s natural born status now ranting about reporters questioning Ted's.

Whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii, by virtue of his mother's citizenship status, Obama is a natural born citizen.

Not if he didn't renaturalize after returning from Jakarta to Honolulu. There's evidence he kept his Indonesian passport, used it, and repeatedly identified as an Indonesian citizen, at an age where such a claim of Indonesian citizenship might be construed as an election of citizenship by a dual (my sister faced the same situation; her voting in a Louisiana election made her election for her).

Still sure he's NBC?
