Birther movement - Election & Politics

Are you or do you know someone who is a 'Birther'? Birthers are people who believe Barrack Obama is NOT a US citizen by birth and hence doesn't legally qualify to be the US president

To be honest, this is one topic I am really confused about. I thought it was all settle but then my sister said that her professor in college said that even though he was born as a citizen, he is not a "natural" citizen because of his dad.

Have never even heard the term. I had to google. When I saw the thread title, I thought it was asking if I've ever gave birth.

This is the article I read.

I believe he was born in Hawaii. I think it's a way to just get him out of office. I'm sure it was researched extensively to no avail during the campaign. He is natural, and he is my President. IMO

Absolutely not. If he weren't qualified to be president, he wouldn't be. The end.

That would basically be the same thing as saying that DB isn't a "natural" citizen because both of his parents were born in Mexico. His parents are naturalized citizens, he and his siblings are American citizens, just like Obama would be.

ETA: That would also mean that none of us are "natural" citizens in that case except for maybe the Native Americans here. All of us are descendants of immigrants in one way or another.
