And, since his grandmother was the only one, to my knowledge, to make

and further, seeing how she died so shortly after his visit to her, I
would think only the amount of logic necessary to draw his citizenship
to scrutiny need be applied to argue a nice conspiracy theory here!
Yanno', the coincidence of her dying and eliminating the only

The grandmother making the statements that he was born in Kenya was
his father's mother, who is still alive in Kenya. I think she simply
wants to remind people of his Kenyan roots. The fact that birth
announcements from back then were published in Hawaiin newspapers is a
pretty good sign he was born in the US.

But, in reality, Barry's mother 'could' have given birth in Kenya and then
returned to the US and had the announcement placed in "Hawaiin"
newspapers, Mr.
PhD.

Even had she done so, he would still be a natural born US citizen by virtue
of his mother being an American. Aside from that, she may have been able to
get the paper to post that he was born in Hawaii, but I doubt she could have
talked the hospital or the clerk into issuing a Hawaiian birth certificate.

That's not right. It is determined by place of birth. It was never
intended that the President or Vice President be born elsewhere. Also
the positions require that you spend the last 14 years in the USA.

The "rules" have reasoning behind them if you have any question of what
the intent was behind the law but if you want to pull a Clinton and
redefine "is" you can make anything out of it you want.
