Got this in an e-mail, was hoping you guys could confirm or disprove it.

Hi Everyone,

I think everyone should maybe wait until next week to 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.

CAN OBAMA BE PRESIDENT?

It seems that Barack Obama is not qualified to be president, after all, for the following reason:

Barack 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* . In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama's birth when she was 18 in Hawaii. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama's birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not yrs 21 of age. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Citizen parent. 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. Citzen 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 insterested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. Citizen, and it would set precedence. 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?? Do you know anyone you can forward this to who might be able to help answer this question?
 
Never, ever, ever, ever read those stupid chain letter emails about Obama. There's nothing more retarded.

These emails are the types of things that spread such lies that Obama is a Muslim and other things.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and he is a US born citizen... his father being Kenyan and his mother being a white woman from Wichita Kansas... which she herself was born in the United States to parents who were US citizens, making her a US citizen her entire life, not the 10 years that stupid email purports.

Don't listen to that shit, please. Nothing intelligent or correct comes out of chain emails about Obama.

I'm surprised they were even able to accurately solve 16 + 5.

That's why I was hoping you could give me some information that would tell otherwise, as this concerns me.
 
Just research to see that the only non US citizen side of his family is on his fathers side. Everybody on his mothers side going way back in time are full US citizens.

Even if both his parents were non citizens, he would be a citizen of the united states since he was born in Hawaii.

United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898): A person born within the jurisdiction of the U.S. to non-citizens who "are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity" is automatically a citizen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Wong_Kim_Ark

This is in the same way that illegal immigrants coming into the united states and having birth here are giving birth to natural born citizens of the United States of America.

Whoever wrote that email is a full blown idiot who knows nothing about United States law.
 
The email is obviously idiot rumour-spreading and I think it's ridiculous that you would credit it with any shred of truth. What, perhaps the American authorities themselves have somehow missed that Obama is actually a foreigner?

I'll need some convincing that this thread should stay open, and I'll need it fast.
 
I think it's served its purpose, Sulk - v-man just wanted somebody to confirm/deny it.
 
Aye, well, sorry V-Man. Don't worry! Obama is a Real American Hero (tm).
