On October 18, the Vermont Supreme Court issued a ruling in Paige v State of Vermont, 2013-105. The issue was whether the U.S. Constitution requires presidents to be the children of two U.S. citizens. The court ruled that the plaintiff does not have standing, and even if he did, the case is moot. See this story.
I note an error in fact. Obama was at birth a subject of the
Sultan of Zanzibar and not a Citizen of Kenya. He was also a
British Protected Person under the terms of the British Nationality Act 1948.
Stating that Obama was a Citizen of Kenya is just off the wall.
Obama is not even a United States Citizen, because his
mother at birth was under age, viz., under 19 years and
one day. The requirement at the time of Obama’s birth was
mother would have to have been a resident of the United
States for ten years, five of those years after the age
of 14 years of age.
Obama’s mother was in her 18th year when she gave birth.
Obama’s status as a subject of the Sultan of Zanzibar was
set by the terms of the Zanzibar Nationality Degree 1919.

This is probably the first time that the word “Zanzibar” has appeared on this blog, whether in a comment or a post.
