This is how SNOPES works folks.
First, they state a claim that has been made.
THEN, they post that claim as it was written (true or not)
THEN, they cite the reasons why the claim is verified or not.
the paragraph in the referenced SNOPES article is NOT clarification of Barack's status, but instead is simply the quote of the claim originally offered.
the reasons why the claim is not verified are given as such:
The fact is, the qualifications listed in the example quoted above are moot because they refer to someone who was born outside the United States. Since Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, they do not apply to him.
The Fourteenth Amendment states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Since Hawaii is part of the United States, even if Barack Obama’s parents were both non-U.S. citizens who hadn’t even set foot in the country until just before he was born, he’d still qualify as a natural-born citizen.
Unless one believes the HUGE conspiracy that health officials faked a birth certificate. US customs erased or hid any trace of travel of the mother in the year Barack OBama was born, or a child being brought INTO America from Kenya that same year, and a newspaper was fed false information, all to TRICK people into believing someone was born in America, in order to get a BLACK democrat into office, in spite of the fact that there were plenty of WHITE MALE democratic candidates who much less work would have to be done for ...
and they believe that in the 60s, a pregnant white lady would have traveled to Africa to give birth to a child of a man from a very segregated culture and traveled back after ...
if one believes that, then I guess Trump could really be an imposter covering for the actual Trump who really died, but who's death certificate has been cleverly hidden ...
