Why does anyone think he was born in Kenya anyway ?
The whole idea doesn't make sense.

But he's not, he's American.
No. The “other side” says Barack Obama has provided the adequate documentation — prior to the election even, unlike any other candidate or President in history — to satisfy the constitutional question.

There is a fairly large group of "birthers", as they are called, that claim President Obama was not born in Honolulu, Hawaii, much less in the United States, but was actually born in Kenya, Africa, thus rendering him ineligible to be the president of the U.S. The other side says that it doesn't matter because his mother was American and that makes him an American.
What does this even mean? “Twist the words of the constitution by saying ‘supremacy clause.’” You are free to disagree with it but the clause is there.

then the federal government wouldn't be able to twist the words of the constitution by saying things like "supremacy clause"

His Kenyan born dad met his mother in the USA, so why would she have flown thousands of miles to a foreign country to give birth ?

Then you don’t understand the Supremacy clause.

No, it's not. If nothing could go against the federal government there'd be no point in having the bill of rights. At any moment the federal government could say no more free speech, no more guns, and then cite the supremacy clause.
The President, or the federal government, couldn’t do something against the Constitution, in part because of the Supremacy clause itself, that says that “[t]his Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme law of the land.”
The president could say everyone has to wear red hats because of the supremacy clause.
