If Berg has proof that his mother gave up
their citizenship, then Obama isn't eligible to run.
Good grief. I'm not a judge and I have never played one on television
or any other venue. I'm just an American citizen who tries to pay
attention. I did attend law school until my common sense told me I was
in the wrong place. With that intro, my down home American common
sense tells me that our American laws would not allow a parent the
power to forfeit her child's American birthright.
Well, sonofagun, here it is:
F. RENUNCIATION FOR MINOR CHILDREN
Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor
children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under
Section 349(a)(5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must
convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully
understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation,
is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily
seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship.
I am struggling hard to understand why we give any credence to such
crap. My foggy gray tells me that someone awhile back said that McCain
wasn't a citizen because he was born in Panama, or some such place.
Cripes, he had American parents and his father was in the American
military!
I find such stuff as this just barely above the level of garbage
gossip, the discourse of the cognitively embarrassed and unendowed. I
respond only in the hope that a few more people will drag themselves
up out of the cesspool that this presidential campaign has too often
sunk into.
