- 1) a citizen
2) born on U.S. soil
3) to U.S. citizen parents
But in this present charlatan's own rendering of history, his father of record was not a U.S. citizen. Outside that personal fable, the preponderance of the evidence shows that he was born in the Lady Grigg Maternity Unit of the Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya. Barack Obama II's birth there was witnessed in person by his step-grandmother, Mama Sarah Onyango Obama, and attended by Dr. James O. W. Ang'awa. His Certificate of Birth from CPGH in Mombasa includes his right footprint, his weight, 7 pounds and 1 ounce, and his length, 18 inches - information found nowhere else in his life record.
Inside or outside of his personal recollection of his birth, his birth in a foreign country to a foreign father means that his U.S. citizenship at birth, if any, hinges solely upon his mother. But the INA of 1952, in effect when he was born in 1961, required in the case of a foreign birth to one citizen parent and one alien parent that the citizen parent be a U.S. resident for [at least] 10 years, at least 5 of which were after age 14. Anna Dunham Obama was not quite 18 and 3/4 years old, 117 days short of the 19 years required in order to confer her U.S. citizenship upon her foreign-born child.
Therefore, there is not onlyNeither has he presented any evidence of U.S. naturalization since his birth.
- universal agreement that his father of record was not a U.S. citizen, and
a preponderance of evidence that he was not born on U.S. soil, but
Mr. Obama has presented no evidence that he was even a U.S. citizen from birth.
For all we know, he may be Constitutionally ineligible for the Office of President not only because his father of record was not a U.S. citizen, and not only because he was not born on U.S. soil, but because he was not even a U.S. citizen... much less a natural born Citizen.
