Second, regardless if he said it was 100 percent sold,

would be almost a miracle. The economy there was
already falling. So, he's excited about his ventures.
So he puffs up his wealth. He is a business man.
The Thumper is a birther. Smear and ridicule is appropriate for such people.

Actually it doesn't. Under the Jurisdiction of means that you are on that COUNTRY's soil, and only if you are not an abmassador and/or a enemy combatant on US Soil.

That is why even illegal aliens children who are born on US soil are citizens at birth.

Wow, talk about twisting definitions.

The focus of this thread is our current President, however, I do not believe Jefferson renounced his citizenship.
Nice hand wave.

You are playing a trick suggesting that because he lived there, he was a citizen of France. He was minister to France 1784-1789.
Uh, NO I'm not.

REad this again.

A general abridgment and digest of ... - Google Books

According to the usages and understanding of all nations a man may have all the rights of a naturalized citizen or subject in his adopted country, and yet retain all his relations, civil and political, in his native country. For instances, the Marqui La Fayette was naturalized in the United States, but retained every such relation to France. So Mr. Jefferson was naturalized in France and there made a French citizen, and he had gone there would have been entitled to all the rights there of an adopted citizen, but he certainly retained all his relations to the United States, his rights and duties as a native citizen, and was in fact after such naturalization, elected President of the United States.

Quote:
My grandfather was Irish, that does not make me Irish.
Before 1986, as Kennedy was born, he was considered an Irish Citizen because of his Grandfather (who was born in Ireland). He automatically became an Irish Citizen at birth.

Thereby he held two citizenship at birth: US Citizenship and Irish Citizenship

He didn't renounce his Irish Citizenship (as it wasn't required at the time he was born and his life).

Quote:
A person may be an Irish citizen through birth, descent, marriage to an Irish citizen or through naturalisation.
Quote:
My father was a U.S. citizen, as my mother, and I was born here, making me a natural born.
And so is Obama, for being born on US Soil.

As with any child born on US Soil.

It's alright for Kennedy to be a dual citizen at birth (of which he never renounced his Irish Citizenship)

yet its not fine for Obama (who held British citizenship from birth, but never affirmed it at age 23, which was required to keep that citizenship).

So he's been a US Citizen since birth, and hasn't had British citizenship for nearly 30 years, yet he isn't a natural born?

I'm not playing games. I'm showing that your reasoning is severely flawed

Kennedy was a dual citizen at birth

Jefferson became a dual citizen by becoming a French Citizen

you still have yet to point out a single constitutional expert that agrees with this definition.

There is not a single current judge, congressman, constitutional scholar or law professor who agrees with your interpretation of the natural born citizen clause. There have been former Presidents, VPs, major party nominees and candidates who had alien parents, and none of them had their eligibility for office seriously questioned on that basis.

That's understandable, birthers are an odd phenomena. I do believe in the truth first, but I suppose I am also motivated by an extreme aversion to stupidity, and people who ignore all real evidence in favor of silly theories.

BTW you have no right to see any documents unless they are publicly published. The COLB is a private document.

Most young adults in the 1960's-1970's were concerned
about a birth certificate, if they worked. You are treating
Obama, as if he was a baby, and went to his mother for
everything, after the age of 16.

I'm not interested in a COLB of a person born in another
country. You didn't have to send in your BC when you
renewed your passport, because they already have it on
file. So, they would have Obama's as well. That practice
of giving certificates of live birth to those not born in hospitals in HI, by affidavit, was going on long before 1982.

You can skip past the first guy .....


YouTube - Tim Adams Obama not born in Hawaii, Hawaii election official in 2008, No birth certificate

I feel exactly as Lou Dobbs feels on this issue:
"I personally believe Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States"

I do not believe that Obama was born in the United States. Doesn't matter to me who else says he was. If that makes me "stupid" to those who think he is a US citizen, I don't care.
