While the Obama team has largely dismissed questions about his citizenship, the persistence of the questions drove the campaign in June to make public his birth certificate. It shows, among other things, that he was born in a Honolulu hospital at 7:42 p.m. on Aug. 4, 1961.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mess put me to task immediately as I quickly researched \"natural born citizens\" and eligibility requirements for the US presidency. I found the United States Constitution requires that Presidents (and Vice Presidents) of the United States be natural-born citizens of the United States although the phrase \"natural born Citizen\" is not defined anywhere in the Constitution, as is true with most Constitutional terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
