Keep smiling!

This is the biggest cover up and conspiracy in the history of America, just so a half-breed, which is what Obama is, can stay in the WH and relieve the guilt that many White Americans have internalized from the 19th century.

Four legacy U.S. Supreme Court rulings were based in part on “natural born U.S. citizen” meaning born in the U.S. to U.S. citizen parents.

The above notwithstanding, there’s still the little irksome fact that the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands does not accept a Hawaii “Certification of Live Birth” as prima facie evidence of having been born in Hawaii.

You are wrong. There have been many federal lawsuits in which the US-born children of foreign parents have been declared to be Natural Born Citizens.

For example:

Mustata v. US Dept. of Justice, 179 F.3d 1017 (6th Cir. 1999) (children born in US to two Romanian citizens described as “natural born citizens” of the US):

Petitioners Marian and Lenuta Mustata are citizens of Romania. At the time of their petition, they resided in Michigan with their two minor children, who are natural born citizens of the United States.

Diaz-Salazar v. INS, 700 F.2d 1156 (7th Cir. 1983) (child born in US to Mexican citizen is “natural born citizen” of US):

Petitioner, Sebastian Diaz-Salazar, entered the United States illegally [from Mexico] in 1974 and has been living and working in Chicago since that time. *** The relevant facts which have been placed before the INS, BIA, and this court can be summarized as follows: The petitioner has a wife and two children under the age of three in Chicago; the children are natural-born citizens of the United States.

Nwankpa v. Kissinger, 376 F. Supp. 122 (M.D. Ala. 1974) (child born in US to two Biafra citizens described as “natural born citizen” of the US):

The Plaintiff was a native of Biafra, now a part of the Republic of Nigeria. His wife and two older children are also natives of that country, but his third child, a daughter, is a natural-born citizen of the United States.

So we have, at the very least, the law dictionary, the two conservative senators, and these cases.

Moreover, the original meaning of Natural Born was from the British and American common law and from the laws in the colonies and the early states, and it meant at the time of the writing of the Constitution: “Born in the country with the exception of the children of foreign diplomats.”

I suggest that you read the eligibility postings on this site and consult some of the references as well. The results will surprise you.

All US citizens who were born in the USA are Natural Born Citizens, the citizenship of the parents or the dual nationality of the child have no effect on Natural Born status.

“Natural born citizen. Persons who are born within the jurisdiction of a national government, i.e. in its territorial limits, or those born of citizens temporarily residing abroad.” — Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition

The Wall Street Journal put it this way: “Some birthers imagine that there is a difference between being a “citizen by birth” or a “native citizen” on the one hand and a “natural born” citizen on the other. “Eccentric” is too kind a word for this notion, which is either daft or dishonest. All three terms are identical in meaning.”
