Seems they have diluted/modified the rules:

"As with other areas of immigration and naturalization in this post-9/11 world, the guidelines change often. As such, these rules only apply to those children born on or after the effective date of the CCA."

I'm not even sure this applies to Obama, so again, the validity is questionable.

So anyways, we would just need to validate the rules with all presidents. Where can we currently view that these rulesets have been validated and view their corresponding documents? Does anyone know? This seems like a somewhat important question if someone wants to be called president.

Also, why did you bring up race? This validation process should be applied to every potential president regardless of race. Politely, get off your politically correct high horse.

Comments like this break the HN guidelines about civility. Obama's birth certificate surely also qualifies as a "classic flamewar topic", so you've broken the guidelines there too. We ban accounts that do that repeatedly, so please read and follow them when posting on this site.

Understandable. I take that comment back, I respect the opinions of people here on hn more than that of other forums.

Not trying to start any flame war, just wanted to know if anyone validated these variables, just as you would ensure a class was properly initialized before calling its getters. Purely after the data.

Very well. Thank you for the subsequent information.
