re: #653 boxhead

so… Unless I am missing something, the fact that Obama’s mother is a USA Citizen in good standing, it should not matter where he was born…

[Link: en.wikipedia.org…]

Is the below not correct for Obama?

It is correct. US law acknowledges citizenship both by parentage and by birth in the United States.

Had he been born in Kenya, he would still be a citizen of the United States by birth, through his mother. Same way McCain was born in Panama, but is a US citizen through his parents’ citizenship.

This is an intensely stupid non-scandal. Believing it to be true involves an incredible amount of suspension of disbelief, and it would have no legal significance if it were true. But GOD it’s got legs.
