    You said:

    If you are born in another country, you are not a US natural born citizen

    Then you said:

    If you are a US citizen traveling abroad and have a kid, the kid is considered a natural born citizen through your citizenship.

    You appear to be in violent disagreement with yourself. Maybe you should up the medication.

    Easy. The government official from Hawaii is of the same political party as the president.

    Obama is a republican? Are you sure?

    It was Linda Lingle, a republican, who was governor at the time.

    And If I telephoned the governor of the state that issued the ID they would have confirmed that it was true?

    So you're claiming Mitt Romneys dad, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president, was not only intelligible to be president, he wasn't even a US citizen!.

    (He was born in Mexico of US citizen parents. He was never naturalised, so according to you he wasn't a citizen).

    So if you're not naturalized, and you're not natural born, youre what?

    Was Mitt Romney's dad, born in Mexico, a natural born citizen?

    Exactly. Soulfader (527299) was repeating a common misunderstanding.

    That case established that if you were born in the US you were a (natural born) US citizen.

    It does not limit citizenship, or "natural born" citizenship to people born in the US.

    Was Mitt Romeys's dad a "natural born citizen"?

    So, if you're an American citizen, and you're not naturalized then you're natural born.

    So a child of an American parent born outside the US is a natural born citizen.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    Because Obama being born in Hawaii is as unlikely as George Washington being alive today? And you're the governor of Hawaii?

    What was the question?

    Was Obama born in the US?

    'cos the "short form" answered that question. It was certified by the government of the state of Hawaii. Can you think of any non-insane reason for not believing it?

    And the important bit of his analysis:

    Before I begin, I need to point out two critical items for this evaluation. First, digital document analysis can detect manipulation, but it cannot determine whether the original subject is authentic. The authenticity can only be determined by the State of Hawaii, and they already said that it is authentic.

    .
    No more needed to be said, but some mad people get excited about layers.

    Theres an old saying "Theres no truth in the news and theres no news in the truth".

    Except that in the original version of the saying 'truth' is '' and 'news' is '' and its from the old Soviet Union.

    Cyrillic fail?

    I assume you meant to type Pravda and Novosti up there.

    No, provide a citation for a "natural born citizen" for being limited to someone "born in America".

    This would have helped most of the general public understand easier and would have taken away most if not all the doubt, .

    No, because the doubt only exists in the mind of the insane, and no amount of "evidence" will change the mind of the insane.

    (and, hey America, what happened to all men created equal when it comes to who can be president? Or does that "rule" only apply if you're American, born in America, never set foot outside the borders?)

    Erm, actually, yes, for the first two. It's in the Constitution.

    Consistency isn't exactly your strong point, is it.

    When asked how film makers could survive if cinemas could just copy as they felt fit you said they could deal with it by contract, i.e. you could tell people what they're allowed to do with their property.

    No, reread the quote. The diplomat was saying that OBL wasn't the de-facto minister of defense. Nobody was claiming OBL was the minister of defense.

    It's the difference between claiming that Cheney was running the show (debatable) and claiming that Cheney was the president (barking mad).
