| PDF said: -----You do not have to be born in the US to be a citizen----- I Know the OP pointed the age law out and adressed this but I just want to make sure people understand this.
This will never go anywhere if it had any weight to it then it would of been brought forward much sooner.
If it did then I dont know. Probably a quick 2nd election would be held. Bush would be given emergency powers of some kind allowing him to be president for a bit longer or Biden would get the job |
A little excerpt from Wikipedia.
Through birth abroad to one United States citizen
For persons born on or after November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:
One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born; The citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before his or her child's birth;
A minimum of 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday.
Different rules apply for persons born abroad to one U.S. citizen before November 14, 1986.
When Obama was born to his 18 year old mother, the law required that 5 of those years be after the age of 14. If he was born in Kenya, he was not born a US citizen. IF she was 19 at the time, he would have been a US citizen.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
