ORIGINAL: huskarine He responded as such because of a previous post from Evangel. and you should read the lawsuit...this could be interesting. Yes the lawsuit is interesting. 1. It claims that the Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake. 2. It claims that Obama was born in Kenya and is not entitled to "natural born" status because his American mother was 18 years old. According to the suit, in order for "natural born" status to be confirmed to a newborn, at least one of the parents must be an American citizen, at least 19 years of age. 3. Even if, the Hawaiian birth certificate is genuine, or "natural born" status could be confirmed to the birth abroad, Obama, through his mother, became an Indonesian citizen while living there, thereby renouncing his American citizenship. The lawsuit cites experts who say the Hawaiian birth certificate is fake. Of course, there will be others who claim otherwise. It seems that some kind of supporting document must be available to confirm the authenticity. It is hard for me to believe that BOTH political parties have not already been through this process. Regarding the possibility that he was born in Kenya, I have never heard about an age restriction on a parent regarding the granting of "natural born" citizenship on a child born abroad. I have 2 sons who were born in Indonesia - yet they were issued birth certificates from the American embassy stating they are "natural born" citizens of the United States - this was based on my citizenship, but of course I was well over 19 years of age. If Obama's mother renounced her U.S. citizenship while living in Indonesia, there must be some legal documentation. All the lawsuit offers is Obama's school registration which cites his citizenship as "Indonesian". School registration documents are not legal proof of citizenship one way ot the other. If Obama returned to the US under an Indonesian passport, that could be telling - and there should be some record of that. If he returned under a US passport - this whole argument is baseless.
