In reply to the discussion: Jennifer Granholm’s response to Mitt Romney’s birther remark is a doozy [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)Obama is an american citizen no matter what his father was.(his mother was American, and not only that, he was born here.)
I never said anything different. Nor did I ever say anyone with only one parent is not eligible.
I actually would allow anyone in America 25 years to be eligible, no matter where one was born.(and that includes all from south of the border who's parents are not yet citizens). It really is an antiquidated system we have, because what really is it people want to avoid?(other than racism)?
We have people running on the far extreme right who are possibly worse than the baddest person one can think of (say A.H.),and they are eligible, so really- what is this rule hoping to stop?
get rid of this law
(which is my point- democrats don't care about past people who might not have been yet because Obama is black, the birthers(aka racists) wanted to stop him.
why?
