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.)"

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.
