because, I hate to break it to you guys, but that's all it takes to be a natural-born citizen of the United States.

Then I want to know how, if he was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961, while his mother was in Seattle.
That's because those "Certificates of Live Birth" are from before 2001, when Hawaii went paperless.
"We don't destroy vital records," Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo said. "That's our whole job, to maintain and retain vital records."
"I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawai'i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai'i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai'i and is a natural-born American citizen,"

Then, I'm still wondering why a village in Kenya is so convinced he was born right there, that they're erecting a monument at the site of (what they think is) his birth.

Call to Kenyan Ambassador says - Monument being built spot where Obama was born!

(visit the link for the full news article)
It is a radio program with a Mike in the morning - WRIF Radio.
The disc jockey's talk to the Ambassador of Kenya - about Kenya and then at 12:30 into it, it when the Ambassador says Obama's birth spot is already a huge attraction in Kenya. The government may put up a marker to highlight it.

LISTEN to it. The ambassador answers the idiotic question by stating that his "Paternal Grandmother is still Alive" and then when the idiot radio hosts keep asking the about Obama being born there he responds that OBAMA's FATHER also named "Barak Obama" was born there, ....the ambassador goes as far as saying "Senior" to try to help these guys out.
At NO TIME does the Ambassodor say Pres. Elect Obama was born in Kenya. He does try to correct these guys twice with more courtessy than these two dufuses deserved.
The first clue to these radio hosts intelligence was when they were making farting noises while waiting to be connected. GEEZ. REALLY! Some of the threads on ATS are just dumb.
So much for better discussions once the election concluded.

To further the context...When the ambassador says Obama "was an economist" that worked with the Kenyan Government...HE IS TALKING ABOUT PRES. ELECT OBAMA's FATHER
Barack Hussein Obama (1936–1982) was a Kenyan senior governmental economist.
FYI as BenevelontHeretic has clearly shown this is the same confusion that has lead to the Obama's Grandmother stating that he was born in Kenya BS.

Might I suggest paying a visit to the State Department's website?
Also it's important to note.. .there is no legal distinction between "U.S. Citizen" and "natural-born citizen". There's a difference between US citizen and Naturalized US Citizen, but there is simply no legal definition of "natural-born"

Good lord!
Hate to break it to you but you are a disgrace by saying I am lying with no proof. Everything I said is factual and has been shown on the countless other threads specifically started for this discussion.
You might learn to comprehend what you read.
"Born and naturalized" are means to attain citizenship, not "types" nor "classes" of citizen. The whole purpose of the 14th Amendment Section 1 was to ensure slaves would be guaranteed the right of citizenship. There was no mention of "natural born citizen" anywhere in the 14th.
We do however distinguish between "citizen" and "natural born citizen', with the latter being the only class of citizen qualified to hold the office of President.

Actually since you are the one making the claims (That Barack Obama is not a US citizen by birth) it falls on you to provide conclusive proof of such.
You are a liar.
Normally I would place a few adjectives before "liar" but they'd just get filtered out.
Now, if you coulf provide proof that either Stanley Anne Durahm wasn't a US citizen, or that she had gotten her son citizenship in another nation, then you might be onto something, instead of just on something.

"ANY ALTERATIONS INVALIDATE THIS CERTIFICATE"
Well, the certificate number is clearly blacked out. Therefore, in theory, that form is now invalid, right?
Originally posted by its bologna
The cert number was blacked out on the image of the certificate..not the certificate itself.
I really don't know why I come to these threads..people just want to believe in a conspiracy. I mean, if there was any proof otherwise, I'd be open to it. To me, the onus is on the accuser to prove he's not a citizen. Not the other way around.

Perhaps you should pay attention to detail.
They are only allowed to release a certification that has the same information to a legitimate party, such as Obama or Congress etc.
Obama has already requested such a certificate, and he has put it online for all to see. That's really all there is to it, details et al.
