Obama Admits To Forging Birth Certificate
President Not Natural-Born U.S. Citizen

 

Reports alleging that President Obama has admitted that he had forged his birth certificate, and that he was not a natural-born U.S. citizen.

iRumorMill.com Determination: Hoax

Obama birth certificate

This is a false report from the fake news website EmpireNews.com.

This site is a satire and parody site, according to its About/Disclaimer page and should not be taken seriously.

The certificate of live birth shown to the left has been the subject of conspiracy theories since 2008, when Barack Obama announced his intention to run for the Oval Office.

They rumors questioning Obama's citizenship and eligibility for the Oval Office were sparked by Philip Berg, an attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter.

The rumors were enough to spark a frenzy on the Web and a group of Obama critics questioning the President's citizenship became known as "birthers."

Sometime throughout the course of the frenzy an Australian birth certificate was doctored up to look like the Kenyan birth certificate of Barack Obama, which went viral on the Internet. It was later discovered, that the phoney Kenyan document from Kenya was ploy released into the Internet by radical supporters of Barack Obama, perhaps to make conservatives look foolish. This according to a June 13, 2011 article by World Net Daily.

The U.S. Constitution states the eligibility for the office of the President as, "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."

The U.S. Code defines Natural Born Citizen:The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

(a)
a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;
(b)
a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe:
Provided
, That the granting of citizenship under this subsection shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of such person to tribal or other property;
(c)
a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States and one of whom has had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions, prior to the birth of such person;
(d)
a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States;
(e)
a person born in an outlying possession of the United States of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year at any time prior to the birth of such person;
(f)
a person of unknown parentage found in the United States while under the age of five years, until shown, prior to his attaining the age of twenty-one years, not to have been born in the United States;
(g)
a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years:
Provided
, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person (A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or (B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date; and
(h)
a person born before noon (Eastern Standard Time) May 24, 1934, outside the limits and jurisdiction of the United States of an alien father and a mother who is a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, had resided in the United States.

Barack Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen. His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was was born on November 29, 1942 in Wichita, Kansas. The couple met in Hawaii while attending university and were married there.

According to the U.S. Code, Barack Obama would be a natural born citizen, no matter where he was born, because his mother was a U.S. citizen.
