(He may have had one earlier when he went to Indonesia from Hawaii, but he might have traveled on his mother's passport.)<br /><br />We know that he had a US passport when he returned from Indonesia because if he traveled on an Indonesian passport or any other country's passport, he would have needed a US visa to enter the USA on that passport, and that would have been recorded in files in the State Department and would have been found by now.<br /><br />As for his birth certificate. This is what the Wall Street Journal said about it: "Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn."<br /><br />As for the allegation that dual nationals cannot be Natural Born. That is simply not true. Natural Born simply means born in the country, which Obama was, as the birth certificate shows. This is what two respected conservative senators say.<br /><br />Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), said:<br /><br />“Every child born in the United States is a natural-born United States citizen except for the children of diplomats.” (December 11, 2008 letter to constituent)<br /><br />Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT), said:<br /><br />“What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” (Senate Judiciary Committee hearing hearing on OCTOBER 5, 2004)<br /><br />And Yale Law Review: "It is well settled that “native-born” citizens, those born in the United States, qualify as natural born." <br /><br />And the Wall Street Journal: "Some birthers imagine that there is a difference between being a “citizen by birth” or a “native citizen” on the one hand and a “natural born” citizen on the other. “Eccentric” is too kind a word for this notion, which is either daft or dishonest. All three terms are identical in meaning."smrstrausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130680385818556655noreply@blogger.com
