That would still make her a year too young to automatically transfer citizenship to Obama Jr. <br /><br />To Mythusmage:<br />The courts don't have a choice. The law is written. I know it's confusing when we have activist judges running around circumventing the constitution, but the fact of the matter is they're required to follow the law. This is why we see so many of the activists rulings overturned. I don't believe the courts would disagree. If they would Obama's eligibility issue would have already made it through to the Supremes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542110383373993114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-20983219531133931202011-04-04T07:22:47.146-04:002011-04-04T07:22:47.146-04:00Christine:

Perhaps that was just a typo on your part.<br /><br />If the out-of-country birth were out-of-wedlock, the US mother would have to have had a continuous presence in the US for one year prior to the birth.<br /><br />Here:<br /><br />http://www.grasmick.com/citizen.htm<br /><br />is a reference chart (scroll down) from the web page of Joseph C. Grasmick, an immigration attorney.<br /><br />This:<br /><br />http://hochiminh.usconsulate.gov/report_of_birth_abroad.html<br /><br />page from a US Consulate in Vietnam provides information to parents on how to obtain a consular report of birth abroad. The page clearly lays out the requirements for obtaining US citizenship for births abroad.<br /><br />I have had to deal with this process since I am married to a non-US citizen and we have had children born out of the US. It certainly isn't a rubber stamp affair. We spent all day at the consulate and the paperwork required over 30 signatures, I think. I remember the people at the consulate remarking about the number of signatures and the red tape involved.longjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569983137099472692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-32552879282497213032011-04-04T01:48:13.099-04:002011-04-04T01:48:13.099-04:00I don't agree that asking Odumbo for his BC is...I don't agree that asking Odumbo for his BC is racist, it's just the fact that he is the only president in history to refuse to show it.

That honor lies with Chester A. Arthur. Arthur was born in Vermont to a Irish born father who, at the time, was a British citizen. Because the 14th Amendment had yet to be passed, Arthur would have been considered a British citizen at birth. Arthur's father was not naturalized until Arthur was almost 40, so there were questions at the time if Arthur was indeed even a citizen since he was never naturalized. Others argued that the 14th Amendment was retroactive and because his father had become naturalized, and Arthur was born on U.S. soil, he was in fact, a natural born citizen and therefore eligible to be president.<br /><br />If I remember my history correctly, Arthur was required to produce his birth certificate to show that he was actually born in Vermont, and not Canada like his sister.<br /><br />Liberals are sooooo dumb and know sooooo little about history.retire05https://www.blogger.com/profile/04192090871824415437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-4812883178300856022011-04-02T20:51:52.349-04:002011-04-02T20:51:52.349-04:00Game.
