Obama is not a natural born citizen, because his father was not a US citizen. His father was a British subject, and because of that Obama was born a subject of the Crown and later became a citizen of Kenya and Indonesia, when adopted by Lolo Sotoro. Even if he was born in Hawaii, and his mother was old enough to pass US citizenship on to him, he would still only be a citizen-not a natural born citizen. Natural born status must exist at the moment of birth. It can not be earned, or received at a later date, or by a retroactive law.
Knowing this, we are now being told that Obama is qualified? Yes, he may be a citizen, though I doubt it, but he was never a natural born citizen, and can not be President, if we honor the Constitution.
British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.
Obamas British citizenship was short-lived. On Dec. 12, 1963, Kenya formally gained its independence from the United Kingdom. Chapter VI, Section 87 of the Kenyan Constitution specifies that:
1. Every person who, having been born in Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963
2. Every person who, having been born outside Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall, if his father becomes, or would but for his death have become, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of subsection (1), become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963.
The 14th Amendment does not confer natural born citizen status anywhere in its text. It simply states that a person born in the United States is a Citizen, and only if he is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
Obama was not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. He was a Subject of the United Kingdom. A natural born citizen would not be born subject to British jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction other than the United States.
For those interested in a more detailed explaination of the term "natural born citizen", a new article was just published on 11/28/08 here: http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008...

only one parent needs to be a natural born citizen and if the child is born inside the usa the child is a natural born usa citizen. this report is not right
No LOL, there is no requirement that the parents need to be "natural born citizens" but only that they are citizens of the US at the time the child is born. I don't know where you went to school, but when a statement says," a child of citizens", the word "citizens" is plural, meaning more than one, and there is no way it can mean only one of the two. Check a grammar book if you are still in doubt.
If your mother was not a US citizen at the time of your birth, then you are not a natural born US citizen. "Natural born citizen" is a legal term that was defined well before the US Revolution. Natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. ( The Law of Nations, Vattel 1758, Book 1, chapter 19, paragraph 212) This is the legal text that was used by the founders of our nation.
Yes, and everyone born there since August 12, 1898 is a citizen, however, NOT all citizens born within the US are "natural born citizens", as this is determined by not only one's place of birth, but the citizenship of BOTH parents. In addition, no evidence has ever been shown to prove that Obama was born in Hawaii. Hawaii routinely issues Certifications of Live Birth to foreign born children.
there r contracts with a few countrys by the way . check out the laws between germany and usa. children born before 1985 in germany by 1 american cit. ( father or mother being in the army) are natural born cit.) u r not correct.
It is very clear that you don't know the difference between a "citizen" and a "natural born citizen". Can you quote the "contracts"? Good luck with that! The US does not make citizenship contracts with foreign nations.
Yes, well let's see what happens Oct 5th first. At least she is trying her best. I still have heard nothing new from Apuzzo-last I checked the Judge was nearly a month late. Berg and Donofrio have done nothing but talk.
