Kenyan law prohibits dual citizenship. In response to someone (?)

who claimed that Obama has dual US/Kenyan citizenship. And here's the link.

http://www.uscitizenship.info/citizenship-library-dual.htm

Kenyan law specifically PROHIBITS dual citizenship. Enough said.

2. Even if Obama did have dual citizenship with another nation...

I frankly wouldn't give a shit. Its a stupid issue, in addition to questioning his citizenship status in the U.S. itself, which is just xenophobic bullshit.

6. I know, and frankly I find the "natural born" qualification for President...

to be arbitrary and stupid. We should have a Constitutional Amendment that gets rid of that requirement. The only thing that should concern us is if the person who's running for President actually has lived here and is a citizen at all. Other than that, I really don't care.

7. Yep. It was pretty shocking, so I looked up the facts this morning.

And now I don't want to wade through that garbage thread to find the poster who kept claiming he has dual citizenship and isn't 100% loyal to the US. There's only so much BS I can subject myself to in one day. :)

9. I know who you are talking about, they are simply acting completely ignorant...

even claiming that people from Puerto Rico aren't natural born citizens, which is factually wrong, btw. I just find the argument stupid myself. I doesn't matter if Obama was born in 1958 or 1961, he still qualifies.

10. I just waded through that thread again and found the post so I

could reply directly to him and include the link.

One good thing is that I have seen so many Hillary supporters come out against this nonsense. It makes me hopeful.

11. It does seem like it was one or two stupid posters who are making those arguments...

Hell, months ago I had to defend McCain, of all people, against the same shit. I don't frankly care who the target of such an argument is, it shouldn't be an argument that we should make anyways. Its bigoted and wrong, period. I just hope the Democrats don't attempt to use such an argument against McCain in the GE, that would be stupid. Oppose the guy because he's not the best person to be President, don't make shit up about him.

8. One poster is using that kind of argument

That Obama may not be 100% loyal to the US.
