THIS IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE ABOUT OBAMA'S ELIGIBILITY

ON OBAMA'S CITIZENSHIP

What I can tell you is this… Obama, the Putative President of the U.S., was born a British subject governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948, and is currently also a British protected person and/or a British Citizen to this day. Folks arguing the birth certificate is a completely secondary issue. It has little relevance when you step back and consider the big picture…many of you have accurately noted that pursuant to the British law that appears to apply to Obama and his father, and which likely makes Obama a British citizen, is in effect not only at the time of his birth in 1961, but still today. Under the Kenyan Constitution of 1963, Chapter VI, Section 87, Obama’s father and Obama became citizens of Kenya.

But neither Kenya’s independence from Great Britain, nor the Kenyan Constitution, nor the Kenyan Independence Act of 1963, as amended, caused Obama to lose his British citizenship with which he was born. This all leads to the question of how can Mr. Obama be an Article II “natural born Citizen” if he was at birth both a “U.S. citizen” (assuming he was born in the U.S.) and a British citizen, which alone disqualifies him from having that status? But to make matters worse, Obama continues to be a British citizen at a time that he is currently the President of the United States.

There are five types of Citizenship mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.
All “natural born Citizens” are Citizens at birth but not all Citizens at Birth are “natural born Citizens” at birth.
A “natural born citizen” is the baseline for Presidential qualification. The overwhelming majority (probably 95%+) of citizens in the United States are natural born Citizens. One needs all three citizenship legs to be a “natural born Citizen”:
1. Born in the USA.
2. Father must be a U.S. Citizen (born or naturalized).
3. Mother must be U.S. Citizen (born or naturalized).
The candidate for President must be “natural born” citizen. Since that term was used in the Constitution only once in Article II for singular most powerful office in our new federal government, the framers intended that it have special meaning. And the source of that meaning is written down and well known by legal scholars. That specific type of citizenship and the “legal term of art” natural born Citizen was codified by Vattel in his legal treatise “The Law of Nations and Principles of Natural Law”, published in 1758, in which he said that … “a natural born citizen is a person born in the country to parents who are both citizens of the country.”

Lots of people who read this will still be confused, so anyone not smarter than a fifth grader might understand it in these terms: “all trees are plants but not all plants are trees.”
