Being former Army myself, the situation plays out somewhat differently if an officer is RA, versus Army Reserve or National Guard. When I was in, there were even differences in Army Reserve status (i.e. IRR or Individual Ready Reserve, which was an awful lot like the National Guard, only you didn’t even muster out once a month but were on this weird “standby” status. IRR was definitely a product of the Cold War, in that IRR members would probably only get called up if a big war broke out with the Russkies).
“.[/quote]Bush was calling up lots of IRR as IMA’s to the AGR, if you understood this.

Obama’s Kenyan relatives claim he was born in Kenya, and that his mother flew home weeks after his birth, and obtained his certificate of live birth in Hawaii.

even if this were true, so what?
Obama’s US Citizenship comes via the Blood of his mother.
As a legal citizen, he is entitled to serve as president.[/quote]
That’s incorrect. Do some research on the archived threads. The issue is much more complicated because of laws in existence at the time (1961) governing the determination of naturalized citizens.
Short answer: having a natural born mother isn’t sufficient if you were born on foreign soil in 1961. It may be a silly law, but someone needs to come clean and address it. Perhaps now that the Dems control Congress Obama can amend the Constitution – while he’s going through the trouble of dismantling our capitalist foundations. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Then Schwarzenegger can be president. Yippee!!![/quote]

Having a US Citizen as your parent transfers citizenship by birth, it’s
how all those war brides and such over in Germany, Japan, Korea
were being brought to the US. They’d hook up with some GI,
have a kid or two and come to the US as married dependents with the kids as US Citizens.patb
