1790 Naturalization Act Says:"The children of citizens of the US, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens." Also, acquisition of U.S. citizenship by birth abroad to a U.S. citizen parent isgoverned by Federal statutes. Only insofar as Congress has provided insuch statutes, does the United States follow the traditionally Roman lawprinciple of jus sanguinis under which citizenship is acquired by descent

You have a copy of Obama's College transcript?Obama was editor of the Harvard Law review!The man is intelligent and earned his way into Harvard.He worked hard for everything and is the PRESIDENT of the United States of America !You're nothing but a stupid moron who makes idiotic statements based on your ignorance and bigotry !

I'm talking about his education you moron. You think his grades were good enough to get into Harvard law and Columbia if he were white? God you're f*cking stupid!

U.S. law at the time of his birth required his natural-born parent (his mother) to have resided in the United States for 10 years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.Obama's mother, was 18 when Obama was born so she wouldn't have met the requirement of five years after the age of 16. This differs from McCain (who is a douchebag anyway but I digress).

I do. Anyone who is born anywhere on U.S. soil is a citizen. Whether their parents are illegal or not.

I agree with your statements.It amazes me how people will question Obama being a citizen BUT won't question McCain's citizenship.Do you know if someone born on a U.S. Military base to parents who are not citizens qualifies as a U.S. citizen ?

You act as if he's the first person in elected office to seal records.
sexyfoxx86(July 7, 2009 at 8:45 pm)
That doesn't matter. His parents were American and citizenship passed to him. He was also born on a US military base which also gives him citizenship.

Really?Obama was elected NOT appointed President.Your contempt for him has distorted your understanding of affirmative action.

WKaliberr: "you got no proof he was born in Kenya cause he wasn't"We have no proof that the Man was born anywhere. Execpt he's breathing.Here's a good one for ya. If Obama is legit, Why one of the first things done when He "took" office, was the sealing of his records?More than half of the $426.9 million Obama raised came from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won't disclose. The number of donations by Good Will were staggering.Only some of the things Barrys Hiding
