Yeah, but that's been updated.

" When one parent was a US citizen and the other a foreign national, the
US citizen parent must have resided in the US for a total of 10 years
prior to the birth of the child, with five of the years after the age of
14. An exception for people serving in the military was created by
considering time spent outside the US on military duty as time spent in
the US."

From:

But then, apparently, Obama's Mom was young when she had him. So,
there's a question about the five years after the age of 14.

This stuff will give you a headache.

Yep, my head hurts, I'm going to vote.

I think you may be missing the point. If he is elected, he will be
elected by the *people*. Any messing with that is called a coup. The
courts have consistently maintained a hands off approach to this issue,
as they should. I would also point out, this does not only concern
Obama, it also concerns McCain. McCain's "natural born" status is not
a certainty. Let's make it easy on ourselves, let the voters decide.

If you are born of US citizens in a local hospital in France are you a
natural born US citizen?

If you are born of US citizens in a US embassy in France are you a
natural born US citizen?


The 1790 Congress, many of whose members had been members of the
Constitutional Convention, provided in the Naturalization Act of 1790
that "And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born
beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be
considered as natural born citizens." In addition George Washington was
president of the Constitutional Convention and President of the United
States when this bill became law. If Washington disagreed with this
definition, he could have vetoed this bill.

Correct me if I am wrong but, modification to the US Constitution requires
an amendment not a redefinition of a term.

After tracking down a few more links on the *natural born* subject, I find
that what appears to be a simple definition, ain't.

Article II, Section 1.

Wrong, Palin-breath. There's not a word in there about providing
proof.

Further, there are questions over the term "natural born." George
Romney, for example, sought his party's nomination in 1968. He
was a citizen of the United States born abroad (in Mexico).
Lowell Weicker, a U.S. Senator from my home state, made a brief
run for the nomination in 1980. He was a born abroad, too.

What's your point? Article II, Section 1 states the requirement.
Implicit in the requirement is providing proof. You can parse the
words any way you want.


Yeah? Please provide us with a list of those Presidents who have
provided "proof."

The question on the table is where was Obama born? All we want to
see is a copy of his original birth certificate, not a printout from
a database.


No one cares what you want. Try getting used to that, eh?

If no one cares what I want, why do you keep responding to my posts?



You're sort of a rec.boats toilet seat...something upon which to sit and
take a dump.

You can't help yourself.

Wouldn't it be easier if you provided a list of the presidents who
couldn't or wouldn't provide proof of natural US citizenship? I'm having
a hard time thinking of any right now.

Gosharoonie, that means that Obama, even if he were born in Kenya of a
mom who was a U.S. citizen is...a natural born citizen...

snerk

At least half of him is? Just joking WAFA. Don't make a big deal out of it.

Not quite. "And the children of citizens of the United States that may be
born beyond the sea..."

It reads children of citizens, plural.


That argument wont hold up. As much as I would like it to.

Read the above link. *There are complex legal issues involved. *And you

Yes, there are complex legal issues involved, And no, I don't believe
I'm missing the point. My question[s], even though hypothetical would
or at least should have a concrete answer.

FWIW, my older daughter was born in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. She had dual
citizenship until age 21. At that point she chose to be a US citizen, even
though Harry was living in the country at the time.

Wait until after the election, and then travel to Washington....all the way
to the White House (that does have a nice ring to it).
Tell them you want proof and won't leave until Obama produces it
