He is an american citizen when it serves the purpose...he pretty much went to college for free because on his application he stated he was not an american citizen....and received grants.
oof!!!!!...........
could you provide any proof of this? any at all?
........ besides an april fool's day joke from 2009?
the "obama attended occidental under a fulbright scholarship as an indonesian citizen" myth started as an april fool's day joke.......... and has eventually become a "fact" in the birther realm.
this is easily debunked. just do a web search for "indonesian citizenship requirements" and "minor renouncing US citizenship". obama has yet to be eligible for indonesian citizenship.
Former governor of Michigan George Romney couldn't run for president because he was born in Mexico in some Mormon community.
It's because of the birth requirement for US presidents.
Actually Romney could and did run. He didn't get far because of a statement about being brainwashed in regards to Viet Nam. Nixon subsequently won the nomination and the Presidency.

true. but chesty was born in VT, making him a natural born citizen,
Not according to a very long trail of historic evidence, beginning with John Jay's letter to Washington and continuing with Bingham, the father of the 14th Amendment:
Quote:
"Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen."
Several Supreme Court Cases since the ratification of the 14th Amendment acknowledge citizenship claims based on being born geographically within the United States, but only recognize the 'natural born citizen' status of children who were born to U.S. citizens. The cases affirm merely the status of 'citizen' to the children born to aliens [The Slaughterhouse Cases 83 U.S. 36 (1873), Minor v. Happersett 88 U.S. 162 (1874), Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94 (1884), Wong Kim Ark Case, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), Perkins v. Elg, 307 U. S. 325 (1939)].

but his mother...and him...were american born
his mother Malvina Stone born in VT was the granddaughter of Uriah Stone Jr (one of my ancestors)bn in mass in 1744, who faught in the revolutionary war, her father George Washington stone was born 1777 in NH
His father was not a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth. Please refer back to Bingham's (father of the 14th Amendment) quote:
Quote:
"Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen."
John Jay's letter is merely a letter. It is not law. Jay wasn't even a Framer. It also does not define natural born citizen.

This is, of course, a bald faced lie.
