Recently a claim surfaced that questioned whether President-elect Barack Obama was a
natural born U.S. citizen - a distinct Constitutional requirement to be
President of the United States. The claim insisted that because Barack's father had dual citizenship with Britain and the United States, Barack was not a
natural born citizen.
Another similar claim charged that Obama had actually been born in Kenya, which also would mean that Obama could not be a natural born citizen.
Since then, the U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to hear either case, thereby dismissing the claims and reaffirming his natural born citizenship status.
Do you think that President-elect Barack Obama really is a
natural born U.S. citizen?
