[quote=spdrun]Here’s the thing — I think the founders intended him to be eligible. Born abroad of American parents as clarified by the citizenship law of 1795’ish.

But at the same time, birther rubbish coming back and kicking his butt would be poetic justice.[/quote]

Well only his Mom was a US citizen and it’s possible at the time of his birth in 1970 she might not have even been an American citizen. It appears that she was registered to vote in Canada which would mean she needed to have Canadian citizenship, but at the time (1970) you couldn’t have dual citizenship as a Canadian so she would have had to renounce her American citizenship. In addition if he was a US citizen born abroad he should have a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America and he should be able to produce it. Unfortunately, I don’t think he has it because he would have produced it to make the doubts go away.
