This video proves that Obama himself knows that he is not eligible to serve as President. He is illegally occupying the office and We the People need to remove him, forthwith.
Answer to video. There are two different criteria. McCain was born on a US military base to two US citizens---but he was NOT born in a US state. Obama WAS born in a US state, and every child born within the USA is a Natural Born Citizen regardless of the number of parents who are US citizens (and in fact even if BOTH parents are not US citizens at the time of birth, as was the case for Rubio and Jindal).
“Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are “natural born citizens” and eligible to be President. Much less certain, however, is whether children born abroad of United States citizens are “natural born citizens” eligible to serve as President …”—- Edwin Meese, et al, THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION (2005) [Edwin Meese was Ronald Reagan’s attorney general, and the Heritage Foundation is a well-known Conservative organization.]
“Natural born citizen. Persons who are born within the jurisdiction of a national government, i.e. in its territorial limits, or those born of citizens temporarily residing abroad.” — Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition
“What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” (Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on OCTOBER 5, 2004)–Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT).
