The Law Says Obama could be Born in Kenya and Still be President

   The website for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office says a person born abroad but with American parentage is a U.S. citizen.
   If they are born as American citizens, doesn't that make them natural born citizens?
   Now, if the Constitution says that in order to be president, a person must be a natural born citizen, and if a natural born citizen includes someone born abroad but with American parentage, doesn't that mean it doesn't matter whether Barack Obama was born in Hawaii or Kenya?
   Yes, that is what it means.
    Though I supposed I had stumbled onto something new when I discovered this, I had not. It has already been noticed. I found a blog written by Michael Russnow for the Huffington Post back in 2012 that discussed the matter. 
 "So, this nonsense should stop, and it’s amazing that the media on CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox News and CNN’s Anderson Cooper has not heretofore picked up on this fact," Russnow wrote.
  Two days ago, I wrote of how the Constitution, itself, seems to indicate a person born abroad should be considered a natural born citizen if his (or her) parents are Americans. Whether or not others have noticed this, I do not know. But, having the Constitution backing the argument, and not just the USCIS website, is significant.
