Can Obama be President?


Got this in my email box today

****CAN OBAMA BE PRESIDENT?
It seems that Barack Obama is not qualified to be president afterall for the following reason:
Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between “December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986? . Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal. US Law very clearly stipulates: “.If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.” Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen and Ob ama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawai’i being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama’s birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn’t matter *after* . In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18 in Hawai’i. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Cizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.
*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. *** Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia. Now you can see why Obama’s aides stopped his speech about how we technically have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery. This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. election law. I think the Gov. of California would be very insterested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. citizen, and it would set precedence. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days***

Maybe this is something that has been thrown around since I have been out of town and out of touch.

Has this been debunked or is there something to it?

Barack was born in Hawaii AFTER Hawaii became a state, and is therefore a natural born citizen, therefore elegible to be President. See this article

I’m no fan of Obama, but do you really think he’d make it this far and not be technically qualified? it smacks of political spam.

Thanks for doing my work for me Joel.

And I am with you bobw. I figured it had already been thoroughly debunked but I just have not had the time to check it out.

There is a website they want you to report smears to. I don’t have the URL handy but you could probably google Obama smears and get it. You could get info there.

Do you really believe that Hillary Clinton would not have raised that issue during the primaries if it was even half true Buck?

Thanks Scott. That is a really good website.

I would have assumed that any of his opponents would have brought it up if it were true Edgar. I am not gonna single out Hillary because that would be sexist.

I could remember folks saying that McCain was not a citizen I had just not heard that about Obama.

You never know what might happen while you are on vacation!

“I am not gonna single out Hillary because that would be sexist.”

No it would not. It would just be a based on a realistic assessment of Hillary Clinton’s negative “no holds barred” aka “take no prisoners” campaign strategy.

“No it would not. It would just be a based on a realistic assessment of Hillary Clinton’s negative “no holds barred” aka “take no prisoners” campaign strategy.”

Heck. I thought all politicians had that kind of strategy ;-)

Dare I respond by saying -

All politicians are equal but some politicians are more equal than others. . . ;-)
