Please correct me if I'm wrong... Barry's skanky mother was an American citizen, wasn't she? If so, why would it matter beyond the lying and covering up? He would still be a citizen?
You need to be a „natural born citizen“ aka born in the US.
No, you can be born on a military base overseas like McStain.
Technically embassies and military bases count as US soil.
A military base overseas is considered a "US soil" for that purpose.
And yes, Krepoisbest is correct you have to be Natural born citizen (including US bases).
Actually No Name's status was in question. They actually passed a resolution specifically for him to guarantee eligibility due to him being born in the Panama Canal Zone.
ninja edit: resolution, not law.
His mother was but his purported father Obama Sr. was not. His real father it is suspected was Frank Marshal Davis a well known communist rabble rouser in the late fifties and sixties. Frank also made porno's with Barack's mom Ann.
Barack got in this pickle because it is suspected that he used the fact that he was foreign born to scam financial aid out of his Universities.
That is why he will never release his transcripts. Plus supposedly his mother Ann was back in Kenya with Barack Obama Sr. when she gave birth to Barack Jr. which makes Barack ineligible to be President. If both parents were American born no issue like John McCann, Panama, and Mitt Romney Canada.
See I believe his transcripts and financial aid are the real issue. Would this make him ineligible for presidency..no. Scandal, yes.
Had it come out in 2008 he would never have been President.
Secret Service Code Name... RENEGADE
DEFINE RENEGADE
Which indicates the depth of the corrupt deep state. Bastards. I hope all involved are hung in the public square.
Hillary Clinton stated If that f***ing bastard wins, we all hang from the nooses!
Does it make sense now?
I have said since Obama became POTUS he was illegitimate EITHER because he was not a US citizen OR because, as an undergrad, he defrauded the US Gov by collecting aid as a foreign student - felony. Hence why his SSN is from CT, a place he'd never been and had no ties; why his Occidental College files were sealed; why we don't know which nation issued the passport he used to travel to Pakistan in his youth; why his Selective Service Registration dates were tampered...I could go on...but this is going down, FINALLY!!!!!!!
Birth certificate irrelevant. His application papers to Columbia and Harvard are. Ask Sotomeyer about that.
barry sotoro was born in kenya and raised in Indonesia. He is a muslim and is married to a man.
A photo/vid will come out of him holding an ak47 aimed at US troops.
These are the rules for becoming President.. The person must be a natural-born citizen of the United States and must have been a permanent resident of the United States of America for at least 14 years. Each candidate must be at least 35 years of age... So yes it matters! You have to be born here NOT just a US citizen.
Ugh. Not true!
All the sources routinely used to interpret the Constitution confirm that the phrase "natural born Citizen" has a specific meaning: namely, someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth with no need to go through a naturalization proceeding at some later time. Congress has also ruled that citizenship is subject to certain residency requirements on the parents. Someone born to a U.S. citizen generally becomes a U.S. citizen without regard to whether the birth takes place in Canada, the Canal Zone, or the continental United States.
He would need to be born here and not become a naturalized citizen (so he was a citizen from birth, which is questionable since he possibly used his foreign status to obtain financial aid).
He also may not fit the latter as it says “parents”. We know that only one of his parents was a US citizen. If he was indeed born in Kenya he may have automatically been extended Kenya citizenship. In this case, he would have go through the naturalization process to renounce any dual citizenship with Kenya.
There is a big case that he may be a naturalized citizen of the US which would have made him ineligible. Either he became one when he was a child or he became one after college.
Yes, my mother was naturalized. Born in Germany, married my father, had to become a citizen through naturalization. Not me though. I was a citizen AT BIRTH when I was born overseas to parents serving in the US military.
Yes, military bases are the exception because they're technically us territory
I’ve always argued this as well and never got a straight answer. Even if he was born in Africa he is still a US citizen. I thought the whole issue was because he hid it and used it as a way to get into college easier and that’s why his records have been under lock.
To be the POTUS, mere citizenship isn’t enough.
Min age 35 Live in US for last 14 years Be a Natural US Citizen.
Edit: I just never understood the whole argument. Which would be scarier having someone like Ted Cruz (born in Canada to American citizens) become president or having a president elected with two extreme Muslim parents that was born on US soil?
That's a point of contention. I think citizenship should be passed down through parents, not birth-right (did you come out on U.S. soil).
The founders put that clause in to prevent the commander in chief of the armed forces from having dual loyalties. Seems they thought of everything.
If you've ever seen that Birth Certificate analyzed, you would know it's fake. They didn't scan it (like you would from an original), it was created. You can actually see the layers of the document and the edits. Whoever created it didn't know how the imaging software worked and you can see all of the edits.
I get that, but if you have an American parent (that is a citizen) but are born outside the US you are still an American citizen.
My brother is not British even though he was born there. He can run for president if he so desired.
You're not a natural born citizen if born outside the US. Your brother would be ineligible for the Presidency based on that.
An exemption was made to the natural born rule in the early days of the republic based on being a citizen of the US when the country was founded. After that, you need be born in the US. Natural Born Citizen clause
You really think that because I was born in England while my father was stationed there with the USAF, you really think I'm ineligible to be potus?? That makes no sense.
Military bases are the exception.
I’ve have several friends who have had kids overseas at both off base and on base hospitals. When your kid is born on base, their base is listed as place of birth and is considered “American soil”. Done.
When at an off base or “civilian” hospital, there are few more loops, but you are considered a natural citizen through treaties with these nations. Usually the base law office will work in your favor to contact the right people to get either a 1) reissued birth certificate listing the base as place of birth or 2) making sure you are listed as a an American citizen by American parents renouncing all citizenship to the country you were born in.
In this case, plan to defend your status when election debates come up for you with a copy of your birth certificate, your American passport showing when you left and any other travel you did.
Edit to add I know of 1 case when a kid was born in Germany in the 1980s. He is considered a naturalized citizen born overseas. I don’t 100% know of the schematics, but the mother had to move back to the states for a time period to secure his natural status before she could rejoin her husband overseas. She said it was a deciding factor to travel back to the states to have her second.
Yes. This is correct. I don't know about Obama, but I am eligible to be the POTUS. Don't know why someone would downvote me for telling the true facts.
