Libs Think Hamdi Could Be Prez

Would it help to put the case of Yaser Hamdi in front of the media. Is he someone who, in principle, could be eligible to be president of the U.S.?

From House Committee hearings on birthright citizenship:
Yaser Hamdi


This question is critically important in light of the Yaser Hamdi case. Hamdi, who was captured in Afghanistan fighting for the Taliban, was born in Louisiana to Saudi parents who were in the U.S. on temporary visas. He returned to Saudi Arabia as a small child and maintained little connection to the United States.
Yet, because he was born on U.S. soil and considered a U.S. citizen, he is granted rights and benefits that a noncitizen combatant would not have been granted.


I have since read that he has renounced his U.S. citizenship. Also, he was born in 1980 so he is not yet 35 years old, and he has not lived in the U.S. 14 years.

He is obviously someone who has no allegiance to the U.S.!!
