-- Obama's mother, Dunham, was am American citizen. That m a de him a citizen by birth REGARDLESS of where he was born. --

Nope. The citizenship statute qualifies the assignment of US citizenship to a child born out of the US to a US citizen mother. The qualifications include mother's time in the US after her 14th birthday, and Stanley Ann Dunham did NOT meet those qualifying requirements.

Not that Congress would apply the law, they'd just change it retroactively.

That doesn’t apply to a person born in Hawaii.

“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. It’s been established. He was born here.”—Linda Lingle, Governor of Hawaii (2002-2010)
