Not saying that I want Obama to win, but whoever is bringing this is obviously desperate to depose of him by any means necessary, even if it is on a technicality. I don't see anyone questioning McCain's citizenship status, despite the fact that he was born in Panama. Go ahead, check it out.

The man was born on a U.S. military base, which is considered to be U.S. soil, and both of his parents were U.S. citizens. Neither of his parents denounced their U.S. citizeship.

If the tables were turned, I'd be saying the same thing.

Technically, you're right, but because it is located outside U.S. borders, and the constitution requires presidential candidates to be "natural born citizens" I'm sure that if someone was desperate enough, they could argue that he is not a "natural born citizen." Not saying they would win, but it could certainly be argued.

It was brought up very early in the campaigns, by guess who... No not the republicans.

Being born on a military base is considered a "Natural Born Citizen" because a U.S. Military Base is considered the United States.

McCain's status was determined as part of the US Supreme Court decision regarding either Barry Goldwater, or A. Stevenson (I don't remember which). The man was born in the Territory of Arizona, not a US state and the court ruled that the child of US citizens born in a US territory or miliary installation on foriegn soil, is a natural born citizen.

One might question the Indonesian school records showing Barak listed as an Indonesian citizen.

If a child is born in a country, let's say "Kenya" and has only one parent that's an American citizen, does this make him a "natural born citizen"????
