Being born in the United States is one of the most important things to becoming our president. Yet it seems that Obama might not be as legitimate as we thought. Claiming to be born in Hawaii many people claim that he was born in Kenya, Africa. During the 2008 presidential race, Hillary Clinton supporters claimed that Obama was not actually born in the U,S, but instead in Kenya. Kenyan residents or anybody from a different country is ineligible to be the President of the United States.
Republican “birthers” also made these such claims, They claimed that since he was not born in the U,S that he was not eligible to be America’s 44th president.

Many conservative republicans such as Newt Gingrich, David Vitter, Andy martin, and Mike Huckabee all claim that obama being president is unconstitutional and unfair. Republicans made such a big deal of it because it gave them a better chance in winning the 2008 and 2012 presidential races. Although neither of them succeeded it raised a lot of controversy. If Obama was not born in the United States of America, then he could be tried in a Federal Court of Law. According to President Obama, “I have watched with bemusement.
