there is also this tidbit...
http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_5199.html
stating citizenship cannot be conveyed by a parent unless that parent was in the US for FIVE(5) years after the age of 14
0bama’s mother was 18 when she gave birth
therefore, the ONLY way 0bama could be a citizen, forget being a natural born citizen, would be if he was born on US soil...
which we have no proof of
(the certificate of live birth has been shown by law enforcement to be a forgery)
So Barry would be a citizen, but not NBC, if he was born in Kenya and if Stanley Ann was legally single.
A bigamous marriage is a nullity, IIRC, i.e. did not exist.
Note, also, that the BNA of 1948 explicitly excludes Barry from being a UK subject at birth anywhere if he was illegitimate, which he would have been if his parents marriage was bigamous. So no dual US-UK citizenship NBC problem if born in HI, just unitary US citizenship from his legally single mom, IIRC.
Smoke and mirrors as far as the eye can see beginning with no genuine BC submitted to any court under rules of evidence...so no verified parents or birth location!
sten has it exactly right. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as in effect in 1961 when Barack Obama II was born, required ten years residence in the United States, five of which were after the age of fourteen, for a U.S. citizen married to an alien to impart her (or his) U.S. citizenship to their foreign-born child.
U.S. citizen Anna (Dunham) Obama was 117 days short of the residence requirement for imparting her U.S. citizenship to her Kenyan-born child with non-U.S. citizen Barrack Hussain Obama, Sr..
The Coast Province General Hospital, Mombasa, Kenya, Certificate of Live Birth, procured by Lucas Smith, has no apparent disqualification.
The purported State of Hawaii Department of Health COLB (Certification, a computer abstract) and long form Certificate of Birth are each littered with such obvious fakery that one doubts the competency of the likes of Jess Henig and Joe Miller. One can get better documents for $100 from José in Tijuana or Manuel in Juarez, with a Social Security Number that will pass e-Verify thrown in for a few dollars more.
