You have zero suspicion about a guy whose parents were a redneck from Kentucky and a dead beat from Kenya having just a copy of a birth certificate from Hawaii?

I never bought into it either.. but you never even questioned it?

Anyway it goes back way further than Obama. It happens a lot and it doesn't matter who started it. It's subsophomoric

With Obama's mom being an American Citizen, even if she had given birth outside of the US, couldn't she have just filed for having given birth abroad and he would be a citizen?  I think if one of your parents is a citizen and you are born abroad your parent should be given the option of having you be assigned US citizenship if so desired if that's not already how it is.  I also think the law that allows for anchor babies to be a thing needs to be re-written and citizenship not extended in such circumstances.
