The State Department is maintaining a
“counter-misinformation” page on an America.gov blog that attempts to
“debunk aconspiracy theory” that President Obama was not born in the
United States, as if the topic were equivalent to believingspace aliens
visit Earth in flying saucers.
However, in the attempt to debunk the Obama
birth-certificate controversy, the State Department author confirmed
Obama was a dual citizen of the U.K. and the U.S. from 1961 to 1963 and a
dual citizen of Kenya and the U.S. from 1963 to 1982, because his
father was a Kenyan citizen when Obama was born in 1961.
In a number of court cases challenging Obama’s eligibility, dual
citizenship has been raised as a factor that could compromise his
“natural born” status under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.
The cases argue dual citizenship would make Obama ineligible even if
documentary evidence were shown the public, such as the hospital-issued
long-form birth certificate that indicates the place of his birth and
the name of the attending physician.
The entry “The Obama Birth Controversy” was
written by Todd Leventhal, identified as the chief of the
Counter- Misinformation Team for the U.S. Department of State. The
office appears to have been established “to provide information about
false and misleading stories in the Middle East,” as described in a
biography of Leventhal published on the U.S. Public Diplomacy website.
