Say What?  The Republicans started playing the impeachment game with Obama.  Don't you recall the idiotic Birther movement --- Trump started all of this [BLEEP].

Although I was referring to the continuous impeachment campaign against Trump, that's a fair point. Furthermore, I'm on the record here, somewhere, maybe on the old board, that Obama and the Democrats played that stupid birther movement to perfection. They intentionally held off releasing his birth certificate so the BMers (good pun, huh?) could look extra dumb.

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.

This is a fact. My oldest two have Certificates of Birth Abroad.
