I believe in England, to be considered a citizen your father had to be a citizen, but if your mother was the citizen and not your father it doesnt count. I have always wondered about that and why it is. Sorry, but this has been standard for 100+ years and it should stay like that. If you are born in this country you are then a citizen; now that all this is being listed together, I think America did a good thing by not determining citizenship based on the parents.
As for our Prez. you know there are going to be some nuts grabbing hold of this to prove he really isn't an American.
