Re: Can Obama Legally Be President ?

The more I read it the more it seems to tell me that Obama doesn't qualify as a natural born American because if order to be so both parents need to be US citizens or if only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth, then that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, five of which had to be after the age of 16. His father was not a US citizen and his mother had been a US citizen since age 8 but she was only 18 when she had him, so she had not been a US citizen for 5 years after the age of 16, at the time of his birth. It does seem very possible that he is not a legally accepted natural born American and if he is 'naturalised' he doesn't qualify for the office of president.

I really don't think we've heard the end of this.
