UGH even IF magically somehow Obama was not born in Hawaii, his mother was so to me this issue should stop being brought up.

I do believe Obama was born in Hawaii. But the Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen, I.e. his parents conferring American citizenship on him does not meet that status.

ah ok it was my understanding that if one of your parents were American you could be considered American no matter where you were born and basically just have dual citizenship.

[dreammeanyway]

for all other requirements other than being president, yes, citizenship by blood (parents) is adequate. for that, you need citizenship by soil (being born in the US). we're weird like that.

You can be considered American. You just can't be president.
