Obama’s Birth Certificate
I see a lot of questioning about whether President Obama is a U.S. citizen these days. Apparently, finding a birth certificate for him is hard, and there are lots of rumors that he was born in Nigeria.
Here’s the deal.
His mother was born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1942. Both her parents were native born as well. This makes her a native born citizen of the United States.When Barack was born in 1961, she was past age 18, the legal age of majority in the U.S.
By law, any child of a native born American, who is of legal age, is an American. Period. No matter where on the planet the birth occurred.
Where Mr. Obama was born makes no difference whatsoever in his citizenship. Hundreds of thousands of American citizens have been born all over the world.
Think of all the soldiers who married girls in Japan, Germany, Korea, France, England, you name it- all their kids who were born overseas are exactly the same citizens, born under exactly the same circumstances.
This entire rumor is stupidity at it’s finest.
