i for one refuse to believe that either of the Bush's were Americans.

You want people to stop looking closely at you? Simply open everything up and show you have nothing to hide.

"If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if
the U.S. citizen parent has been "physically present"[6] in the U.S. before the child's birth for a total period of at least five years, and
at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent's fourteenth birthday."

this sounds to me like he's a citizen... regardless if he was born in Kenya. Am I wrong, or drunk?

The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;

Frankly I don't give a rat's ass one way or another but the part that makes me scratch my head is the amount of money, time, and effort on the part of the Obamanistas to NOT cough-up irrefutable documentation proving BHO's alleged Constitutionally valid citizenship....at least the level of citizenship that allows him to be POTUS. I'm with Trump on this issue.

The best the disciples of the Anointed One can do is use the tried and true race card option to deflect the questions rather than simply coming clean on the issue.
