Above, Theresa Cao speaks about President-elect Barack Obama's proof of U.S. citizenship outside the Supreme Court in Washington Friday.
DFO: Conspiracy theorists on the right contend that Barack Obama isn't eligible to be president b/c he wasn't born in the U.S. And are demanding to see his birth certificate. A coupla Hucksters, I believe, have offered definitive proof in terms of links in the comments section that he was. I haven't followed this too closely b/c I place these conspiracy theorists in the same categories as left-wingers who are still demanding President Bush's impeachment.
Question: Should candidates for president be required to be born in this country?
