 RC> 26 Oct 08 10:32, you wrote to Mimi Gallandt:

 MG>>> never be POTUS. One of the requirements to be POTUS is that
 MG>>> one must have been born in the US or one of her
 MG>>> territories.

 BK>>  Wrong.

 RC> From a page on http://www.usconstitution.net that discusses
 RC> what makes up a natural born citizen:

 Note: Not a native born citizen.

 RC> Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps.
 RC> Section 1401 defines the following as people who are
 RC> "citizens of the United States at birth:"

 ...

 RC> * Any one born outside the
 RC> United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the
 RC> U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.

 Bingo #1!

 RC> * Any one born outside the United
 RC> States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other
 RC> parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for
 RC> at least five years (with military and diplomatic service

 Bingo #2!

 RC> Kenya is not a US possession..

 RC> Unless of course, Obama was born in the US Embassy in
 RC> Nairobe?

 MG>>> Had Arnold been
 MG>>> born in Guam or the Panama Canal zone he could be POTUS.

 BK>>  Wrong.

 RC> As I read it, you are correct.

 MG>>> requirement, but if it can be proven that he was, in fact,
 MG>>> born in Kenya he cannot be POTUS.

 BK>>  Wrong.

 RC> You would be correct if he had been born before 05/24/1934.

 Or if one parent is a US Citizen who lived in the US 5 years.

 RC> If indeed he was born in Kenya, he is in deep shit.

 You have not cited any reason he would be.

 Remember, she said he could not be the president of the US
 if he was born outside the US. She did not make any allowance
 for anything you posted. She made an unconditional statement.

 By what you posted he could be the president of the US.
