New Hampshire lawmakers question Obama’s citizenship


CONCORD, N.H. — President Obama is on the Democratic ballot for New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday, despite the efforts of some Republican state legislators who argue the president doesn’t qualify as a “natural-born citizen.”

  1. Question for the future. If the President needs to be Article II Natural Born Citizen. Then all the persons in line for the office need to be. Speaker of the house ect. Anyone who could be in line in case something would happen to the President. Just a thought.
