This is incorrect. The law was different for out of wedlock births on foreign soil..and Obambi’s birth was out of wedlock -unless Ann married Sr in Kenya- which I don’t believe would have been possible given the rules on tribal verus statutory marriages..whites versus blacks, etc.

Assuming he was born out of wedlock in a foreign country (which may be true) then his mother could have conferred citizenship assuming she had lived in the U.S. for a continuous period of one year. I'm assuming he was born to a married Mr. and Mrs. Obama somewhere in the U.S., in which case I'm not incorrect.

You would still be incorrect... depending on YOUR interpretation of the US Constitution - which may not be valid.

If born in the US to parents who were fraudulently married- and thus had no marriage (it is not a voidable marriage..it is a VOID marriage ) and you are invalidating his status based on Obambi’s British citizenship - you are incorrect. Check British law about illegitimate babies at that time.

If you are invalidating his status based on Obambi’s father’s British citizenship alone..then you may or may not be incorrect. It would be up to a court/Congress to decide what constitutes Natural Born Citizen...and therefore you can’t claim as fact that he isn’t a NBC. ..it would only be a possibility based on legal argument which could be argued both ways.
