listen freeper morons--even if Obama was born in Kenya with a Kenya father, his mother
is American and confers American citizenship to her offspring, no matter where they are born.
Check the law, dimwits. And get out of our faces with the birth certificate crap. Even with
your worst case scenario, he is still an American. And a great one.

2. the consitution states the president must be a natural-born citizen
so if he was born in Kenya outside of a US base he would not be eligible for the office of president.
DUmmy librechik believes the Constitution to be stupid, but concedes she's a moron, so who cares:

DUmmy glowing, by virtue of watching Regis and Kathy, is a Constitutional scholar:

3. If that were the case, as far as I understand the rules, he would not be
qualified to be the President because he was not born in the United States. I remember because back in the day I was forced to watch Regis and Kathy.. back when Kathy was on the show.. she was born to US parents, but in Paris.. so she said one day to Regis that she could never be President. That's when I asked and found out more about the issue. Apparently, you have to be born in the US.. which is why McCain running for Pres. was a bit of a stretch.. I guess though, he's so freaking old, that Panama, was actually US territory.. but does territory mean United States. In the future, could a person born in Puerto Rico become President? As of now, Ahnohld, could not, even though he's a citizen now.
Although a Constitutional scholar, DUmmy glowing is apparently not much of a historian. The Panama Canal Zone was U.S. territory until Jimmuh gave it away in the 1970s.
DUmmy librechik, among the more honest Dummies, once again cops to being stupid, and then proceeds to prove it:

6. I take it back--I am the stupid one
natural born citizen for presidents? kind of a racist concept. No wonder the freepers like it.
