Can Obama legally bePresident?
Thursday 19 June, 2008
I think everyone should maybe wait until next week, and see if this hits the fan.
I did not find anything to confirm or refute this story.
Maybe we need to contact the Attorney General or our congressmen, and get
them to look at it too!
--- I received the message below and have searched for something to dispute it.
There is nothing on SNOPES to dispute this.
It seems that Barack Obama is not qualified to be president, after all, for the
following reason:
Barak Obama is not legally a U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on
the books at the time of his birth, which falls between 'December 24,1952 to
November 13, 1986. Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen. If the child
was not born
> to two U.S. citizen parents, (which of course is what exempts John
McCain, though he was born in the Panama Canal ). US Law very clearly stipulates:
If only one parent was a U.S citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have
resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be
after the age of 16. Barack Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen and Obama's
mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means, although she had been a
U.S. citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawaii being a territory), the
mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama's birth,
but *after* age 16. It doesn't matter *after*. I n essence, she was not old enough to
qualify her son for automatic U.S. citizenship. At most, at the time of Barack bama's
birth when his mother was 18 in Hawaii , she would
> have needed to have been 16+5= 21
years old for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aforementioned, she was a
young college student at the time and was not yrs 21 of age. Barack Obama was
already 3 years old at the time his mother, as the only U.S. citizen parent, would
have needed to have waited to have him. Obama instead should have been naturalized,
but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.
*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President***.
Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does
not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. citizen for
10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16.
Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect
any citizenship
> he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia ...
Now you can see why Obama's aides stopped his speech about how we technically
have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery. This is very clear
cut and a blaring violation of U.S. election law. I think the Gov.. of California would be very
interested in knowing this if> Obama were elected President without being a natural-born
U.S. citizen, and it would set a precedent. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect
some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days.
Interesting!! Now what? Who dropped the ball or are we all being duped? Who do you
know to whom you can forward this that might be able to help answer this question?

Snopes does have something on this, saying it's False, which was posted on June 18:

Under the plan, every boy will be required to set aside a sum of money based on a sliding scale that will increase each year. An eight-year-old will be required to pay 0 annually; a seventeen-year-old, ,500. Any boy who fails to make the required payment will be jailed for up to one year.
Obama said the plan is the centerpiece of his domestic policy “because I don’t have any sons,” and because it ”will help me win over Clinton supporters.”
Under the plan, if, at age 55, a man who has paid into the system does not owe child support obligations, the garnished monies will be used to fund research for ovarian and breast cancer “or some other appropriate charity for women.”
The National Organization for Women applauded the plan but said it does not go far enough. NOW wants to impose on every teen male a per occurrence tax on nocturnal emissions to fund women’s domestic violence shelters. Sen. Obama said the proposal “is under consideration.”
Jul 17 Donn, are you really Jesse Jackson?GO EASY ON THAT FISH OIL, JASMINE LOL
Jas.... I just couldn't resist. Hawaii was made a state in 1959. Obama was born there. His mom was born in Kansas. She was always a US citizen. They did not go to Indonesia until way after his birth. This is ridiculous DONN. You are really digging here. I've always thought that just being born on US shoulkd not make an individual a US Citizen. Thats why Many come across our borders and have their children[QUOTE=lorster]Hawaii was made a state in 1959. Obama was born there. His mom was born in Kansas. She was always a US citizen.
