Ok, so the birthers not only claim Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii, but they have an argument for even if he was born in the US.
His father, who did not live in the United States for more than a couple of years, was a subject/citizen of Kenya/Great Britain at the time of Barack’s birth and afterwards, AND further, as Barack himself admitted on his website during the 2008 campaign, Barack was therefore born SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNANCE OF GREAT BRITAIN.
The FACT that he was not born of TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS is all that matters. The question of his birth certificate is a distraction (a distraction fostered by Obama’s supporters?) that ought not to occupy our time and resources.
Except this is not so, and has already been debunked before.
Not only does it make no sense (if Britain changed the law so that anyone born in America was also a British Citizen, would no one be able to become President? It's our laws that matter, not theirs.), but Obama is not even the only/first President to only have 1 American parent. There have been 7, that's SEVEN, Presidents of the United States with 1 parent a US Citizen and the other a foreigner.
Andrew Jackson
James Buchanan
Chester A. Arthur
Woodrow Wilson
Herbert Hoover
Barack Obama
I'm sorry some people not only don't understand the law, but also can't do a little research.
