Is Obama's candidacy constitutional?

Bloggers are raising questions about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's qualifications to be U.S. president, because of the secrecy over his birth certificate and the requirement presidents be "natural-born" U.S. citizens.

Jim Geraghty, reporting on the Campaign Spot, a National Review blog, cited the "unlikely" but still circulating rumor that Obama was born not within the United States, but elsewhere, possibly Kenya.

Geraghty defined the concerns most clearly, stating: "If Obama were born outside the United States, one could argue that he would not meet the legal definition of natural-born citizen … because U.S. law at the time of his birth required his natural-born parent (his mother) to have resided in the United States for '10 years, at least [f]ive of which had to be after the age of 16.'"

He then points out Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, was 18 when Obama was born "so she wouldn't have met the requirement of five years after the age of 16."

Geraghty continues: " (Interestingly, apparently there isn't much paperwork on Obama's parents' marriage. 'Obama: From Promise to Power,' page. 27: 'Obama later confessed that he never searched for the government documents on the marriage, although Madelyn (Obama's maternal grandmother) insisted they were legally married.' Also note that Obama's father apparently was not legally divorced from his first wife back in Kenya at the time, a point of contention that ultimately led to their separation.)"

Enjoy your illegal nigger president, Amerikkkans.

trying too hard...

>>2 Butthurt Obongophiliac.

McCain, Panama, etc...

Nah, I agree. I don't want Obama as president either, but if we keep coming up with these try hard methods- we're gonna change people the other way. Every time you call Obama a nigger you just make him and his supporters stronger.

Second, the same shit can be said about McCain if we dig hard enough. You think McCain doesn't know what you've just posted? He doesn't bring it up because that knife can be turned on him as well. Be smarter, OP.

>>5
I was not OP, but nice try. If you read the article it mentions McCain and his validity as a candidate is secure, not that I care about him.

>>6
Actually, you have ignored the fundamentally important question he asked, if this is true, why is this not perpetrated by people who can do things and need to, but by basement retards? So unfortunately your attempt is not a nice try.

SOOOOOOSHALIZT!! LIBERTAYRYANIZM!!!!

>>7
why is this not perpetrated by people who can do things and need to,
I sincerely thought it was rather ancillary; even if the McCain camp brings it up, there is absolutely nothing that can be done now. If he wins, he wins, despite not being an eligible candidate if the article's concerns are well-founded.
but by basement retards?
You must be confused, those are the Obongo worshippers such as >>8.

>>9
Are you inferring that libertaryans are "obongo" (nice twist from "obama bin laden", by the way) worshippers? Clearly, they are not, and you haven't managed to answer the posed question, and indeed have accepted that this was "trying too hard". Thanks and goodbye.

I am inferring that the Obongo-worshipping troll who keeps touting  his inane ramblings in every thread and tells people that they believe Bush is a 'soshalizt' for no apparent reason is >>8, rather than your 'libertaryan' boogeymen.

I answered the questions posed, but a retarded Obongo worshipper like you would rather project his own failure onto others than acknowledge reality.

>>12
Au contraire, if you had the capacity to read, you would know that your incessent crying was pointless and flawed. Firstly, people who believe BUSH IS SOSHALIST, are unfortunately real, and they are libertarians. All the arguments presented by the "libertaryan boogeyman" have been without exception genuinely defended by the aforementioned retards, which I believe included you at some point.

Now that we are done with that, again if you could read you would have realized that you hadn't answered the question I paraphrased, hoping that you would then understand, and it is also fun for a retard of your caliber to accuse me of being an "obongo" worshipper because I'm not an American, and Obama is just slightly less fail in the nation of retards with retarded candidates, it's just that the more retarded side with the more reactionary delusions. Also lol@a person perpetrating the aforementioned "trying too hard" piece crying about reality. Yeah, that, zionofascism blog, new world order, bush being socialist are all truth and logic, science, reason and knowledge are the tools of the deluded. Keep it up buddy.

You clearly have an emotional attachment to your psychosis.

>>14
You clearly can't answer to arguments and cry this way instead. Enjoy the aforementioned delusions.

Out of context. If I were to say "i will kill the president", it wouldn't mean I am actually going to try and kill the president.
