Raymond, you old windy bastard, are you still experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations on this birth certificate issue?
Time to move on Raymond, you can't whip a dead horse.

Qualifications for the Office of President
Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States
http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.htmlNatural-born citizen
Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?
The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.
Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"
•Anyone born inside the United States *
•Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
•Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
•Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
•Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
•A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
* There is an exception in the law — the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.

"Wake up people!! ther is no way in heck that Obama can be a legitimate president with this document"
Ok, raymond and MaggieMae, WHY do you keep bringing this up? It's OVER. And even if Obama WAS born in Kenya, HE WAS BORN TO AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND is therefore an American BY BIRTH. Seriously, why don't you understand this? Please answer. Also answer why, since McCain was born outside the United States, why weren't you screaming about that? Why then did the Republicans nominate a NON-AMERICAN for President? Way to go, GOP.

You did post: "Raymond - we will never know the truth. Reminds me of that old TV Series "Mission Impossible" -- all kinds of possibilities". We DO know the truth, you just cannot accept this man. I also remember you posting evil wishes for this country by posting statements like you hoped we all lived to regret this President. You're quite the anti-American.
