    So he fought all the efforts to make him testify, then proudly said he’d testify, only to take the fifth? Hmm.

    If his dad wasn't a citizen, and he had bene born outside of the U.S., aren't there rules about his mom having had to been physically present in the United States for a certain amount of time over her lifetime?

    "A child born outside the United States to one U.S. citizen parent and one non-U.S. citizen parent may be entitled to citizenship providing the U.S. citizen parent has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for five years, at least two years of which were after reaching the age of fourteen, prior to the birth of the child. These five years do not need to be consecutive." See Do you qualify to pass on citizenship?

    Did Ann Durham physically live in the US for five years prior to President Obama's birth? Yes.

    Wouldn't they be filming everything anyway? If they went through the trouble of waiting until he and his entourage weren't there to flush and shred everything, I kind of get the feeling they would have arranged for that as well. (Don't know if it's procedurally prohibited or anything like that.)

    There are security cameras at MAL, which the feds probably already have. Enough of this lying shit already.

    No amount of proof was ever good enough for the birthers. The “short form” that Obama released three years before Trump even started talking about it, IS the legal birth certificate in Hawaii. The information on it is presumed to be true in any court of law.

    The fact that it didn’t end then proves it was all about racism.

    I remember reading about this. ... and the requirements were different when he was born. You are referring to a change they made in the 2000s, I think.

    Under the law at the time, if he had been born outside the U.S., she would have had to have been physically present in the u.S. for 10 years prior to his birth, five of those after the age of 14. She was 18 years old when he was born. She would have had to have been at least 19 to transmit citizenship given the law at the time (14 + 5 years).

    If, and only if, he was born outside the United States. Which he wasn't.
