Obama was born in Hawaii there is no question of that simple fact . just as there is no question that Mccain was not born on American soil making him un eligible to be elected president . in order to ease things for McCain the congress passed a non binding resolution giving him citizenship status . but if anyone cares to push it he is not a natural born citizen under the law at the time of his birth !
