Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution reads: No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

~We are governed by the Constitution, not by public opinion.
~If Obama is qualified, why hasn’t he produced an original birth certificate?
~Theory 1: Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii, but Kenya
~Theory 2: Even though born in Hawaii, he had dual citizenship
~Theory 3: Obama has dual citizenship himself from his father
~Theory 4: Anne Dunham wouldn’t grant him citizenship if born abroad
~Theory 5: Adoption by second father lost him US citizenship.
