    There is no debate. He came out of his very American citizen mothers vagina in a hospital located in one of the 50 states of our union. Oh yeah and as Margot so correctly stated his father was also under US jurisdiction.

    Exactly. Did he not have enough foresight to realize his past would be highly questioned? What a doofus.

    Anyone who says this isn't about race and whining about the race card is an idiot. If he was white this would absolutely not be an issue and it wouldn't even be brought up.
    The guy has given proof. But because people are so racist no matter the proof they'll just plain never believe it.

    These are state ballot statutes that are actually being exercised. Are you saying the statutes are racist?

    Why don't you READ the law?

    The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps. The Constitution authorizes the Congress to do create clarifying legislation in Section 5 of the 14th Amendment; the Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows the Congress to create law regarding naturalization, which includes citizenship.

    Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"

    •Anyone born inside the United States *

    •Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe

    •Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.

    •Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national

    •Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year

    •Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21

    •Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)

    •A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

    * There is an exception in the law — the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.

    Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.

    Want to be offended? Why don't you ask the thread starter about his views on Jews and Obama's mother? Might give you a look into the type of people you are jumping into the fire with here.
