Georgia State Representative J. Mark Hatfield (R-Waycross) will plead the case before the Office of State Administrative Hearings on behalf of Mr. Kevin R. Powell of Duluth, Georgia, who filed the suit on the grounds that Obama does not satisfy the natural born Citizen requirement of Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution. Obamas father, Barack Obama, Sr., was a native of Kenya and a British subject who never became a United States citizen.

How stupid are these people that they don't understand that The PARENTS DO NOT HAVE TO BE AMERICAN CITIZENS BUT THE PERSON RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT DOES!!! ALSO A NATURAL CITIZEN is one of a couple ways.
NOW Please correct me if I am wrong BUT I was always taught that a person became a citizen by
1) Being born on U.S. Soil or Territory. A person who is born in the American Embassy of Whosville is on American soil and therefore an american citizen.
2) IF one of the person's parents is an American citizen they become a natural citizen.
So how does someone born on an american soil to one parent of U.S. citizenship not able to be president.
INSTEAD of spending 5 hours a day teaching kids how to past a test JUST so the school district can get federal funding. JUST MAYBE our schools should be teaching kids important things like logical reasoning and civics and geography and than maybe when these kids go home at night some of these births just might be re-learned the constitution and just basic understanding of how our country works.
