right, there is no question about obama citizenship, because he was born to an american. the issue is the actual location of his birth, which is obviously of no real consequence and based on a law that is pointless and outdated.
"8 U.S.C. ยง 1409 paragraph (c) provides that children born abroad after December 24, 1952 to unmarried American mothers are US citizens, as long as the mother has lived in the US for a continuous period of at least one year anytime prior to the birth." so says wiki Birthright citizenship in the United States of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
right, we all know he is a citizen, that cant be disputed because his mother is a citizen. the issue specifcally is that presidents are supposed to be citizens born in the US. of course the law is antiquated and pointless anyways, and every birther is a lunatic and an idiot, but yunno, so be it.
I think it is that Presidents can't be naturalized. That does not mean they have to be born in the US. An American born abroad is not naturalized. They are birthright citizens.
yes i guess you are right. i dunno what i was thinking. of course that is what it is. this is why shwarzenegger cant be president. the rules is absurd and outdated. shwarzenegger would not bepresident as secrete agent of austria or whatever, and he has been in the US longer than i have. anywayz, obama is a citizen both by his mother and birth location, and has demostrated this with his birth certificate. birthers are very much like truthers in that they start with a lie, continue to refuse to listen to anything, then pretend like everyone refuses to answer their questions. "where is the birth certificate!" - birthers "its here, we showed it to you" the sane people of the world "where is it!? we are crazy!" - birthers i guess the confusion is based on the fact that his hawaii certificate says "certificate of live birth" and this is claimed to not be a real certificate? i am pretty sure my (south carolina) birth certificfate says that as well. or maybe i am muslim terrorist.
And because there are artifacts around the lettering which indicate a possible photochop, but I'm speaking from memory of a nearly 2 year old thread.
yes that is true. they cant be bothered to do a proper photoshop when duping the entire world over false citizenship for one of the more notable men in human history.
does anybody really believe that the republican party, with all at their disposal, (including the sitting president in charge of the CIA and FBI) would have surrendered the election to someone who wasn't constitutionally qualified to hold the office?
Factcheck.org has high resolution photos of the original birth certificate. You can clearly see the raised seal, type, etc. Hawaiian officials also stand behind it so it's a done deal regardless of whether it's authentic or not. That people (not necessarily you) choose to hold on to this argument shows that they're not capable of making an intelligent argument against abilities as President. That doesn't make for a very appealing candidate for Senate.
