Congress knows what presidential eligibility is, dammit. They had a hearing on the eligibility of John McCain, who was born in Panama and passed a resolution on it, confirming McCain's eligibility and citing law that shows that Obama is not eligible. That they are so silent on Obama's eligibility is just evidence that they all know damn well that he is not eligible and just refuse to act on the knowledge. We need the public to rise up and put an end to this sorry charade. Join the class-action of the Liberty Legal Foundation as a start to help out. See link at the bottom.

This is a short explanation of why Obama is not eligible to be president. The Constitution requires that the president be a natural born citizen. Both parents have to be American citizens to meet that requirement. If the father is the citizen of another country, as Obama's father was, the child's citizenship is not uniquely determined and is not exclusively American at birth. His parents have the right to choose his citizenship. This is not consistent with the meaning of natural born citizen, as used in the Constitution and defined by American law.
The courts could easily rule on this or Congress could pass a resolution declaring that Obama is "natural born," as they did for Senator John McCain, when the case was then clear cut. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone of two American parents.
That they do not do this for Obama, just demonstrates that they themselves do not believe that he is eligible, otherwise they would resolve this controversy that has gone on now for 3-4 years. They don't do it, because they fear where a real public discussion and legal hearing of the issue would lead.
In the Resolution declaring Senator John McCain's eligibility, the Senate cited a law passed by the First Congress that defines the term "Natural Born Citizen." It is clear from the text of the Senate's own reference that the term requires both parents to be citizens of the United States. The plural is used, children of citizens. If the Founders had intended for the child of an American citizen married to a foreign citizen to be considered natural born, they could have explicitly stated that, but they did not, because it is not what they wanted.
The Founder's, for one thing, wanted to prevent European royalty from claiming the right to rule the United States. So, it is clear that they would not have wanted the son of a foreigner to be eligible to become president and it is stated in this way in the law passed by the first Congress in 1790.
Both Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have referred to Obama's divided loyalty. Obama called himself a "citizen of the world" at his speech in Berlin in 2008 and Michelle has openly referred to Kenya, the homeland of his father, as Obama's "home country."
Does anyone really believe that the Founders wanted the American president to feel divided loyalty, that he is a "citizen of the world" or that his homeland was on another continent? That is definitely not what they intended and they wrote the law to prevent such people from becoming president. Our Congress, Democrat and Republican have blatantly ignored the Constitution and American law. Obama is not a legal president.
