UPDATE: Apparently, the above is wrong. Larwyn consulted with legal and she clarifies the law for us: The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 says:
"…a person born in an outlying possession of the United States of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year at any time prior to the birth of such person…" [Section 301e, {8 U.S.C. 1401} emphasis mine]
Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961. On August 21, 1959, Hawaii was admitted to the union as our 50th state, which means Barack Obama was born IN the United States.
Section 301a, {8 U.S.C. 1401 says "a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth. Obama could have been an anchor baby of illegal aliens and could still be President.
Plain and simple Barack Obama is a natural-born American citizen.
OK, so why the forgeries and all of this sturm and drang? Is this some diversionary tactic to keep us busy and off the scandals of real import, Auchi, Rezko, Ayers etc.
STOP THE DIVERSIONARY TACTICS.
Release the certificate.
