HELL NO!...

Is Barack Obama even a United States Citizen?

 
Is Barack Obama even a United States Citizen, based upon the Founding Fathers and Congress at the time the United States Constitution was ratified?

 Although you might think this is a trick question, consider the following:
 The United States Constitution requires that to be eligible for the Presidency, that person must be a ‘Natural Born Citizen’.

 Tench Coxe, ofPennsylvania, a member of the Annapolis Convention and the Continental Congress, and author of a number of pamphlets on the finances and commerce of theUnited States. The four letters written over that signature were among the first to appear in favor of the Constitution, and were reprinted in many of the newspapers of the day. As he wrote An Examination of the Constitution for theUnited States of America, Submitted to the People by the General Convention, At Philadelphia, the 17th Day of September, 1787;
 The President of the upper-house (or the chancellor) in in England, is appointed by their king, while our Vice-President, who is chosen by the people, through the electors and the Senate, is not at all dependant on the President, but may exercise equal powers on some occasions. In all royal governments, an helpless infant or an inexperienced youth may wear the crown. Our President must be matured by the experience of years, and being born among us, his character at thirty-five must be fully understood. Wisdom, virtue and active qualities of mind and body can alone make him the first servant of a free and enlightened people. LINK

 Born among the Citizens by a Citizen Father.
 To be a Citizen of the United States, Congress in 1790 passed the original United States Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat. 103) which provided the first rules to be followed by the United States in the granting of national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were “free white persons” of “good moral character”. It thus left out indentured servants, slaves, free blacks, and later Asians. While women were included in the act, the right of citizenship did “not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in theUnited States….” Citizenship was inherited exclusively through the father.
 Citizenship was a ‘birthright’ inheritance from the father to his offspring, as such that as Vattel stated that As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.”
