“I haven’t looked at the exact 1973 language, but the current language above includes both citizen AND RESIDENT children and custody is NOT required.”
This highlights a difference between you and I. I have looked at the 1973 code and a dependent was required to be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Resident to be claimed by the custodial parent or guardian.
You think it proves Obama was a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Resident because the parents did not claim his as a dependent. A foreign national visiting the U.S. on a student visa is not a U.S resident. He’s a visitor capable of being deported.
I think it proves Obama was not a U.S. Citizen or U.S. resident because his parent did not claim him as a dependent on their 1973 OR there was a Court adjudication prior to 1973 where the Soetoro’s were stripped of their custodian rights.

Link please. The rest of your claims specific to the Dunhams remain totally without support.

In other words, the fact that Lolo and Ann didn’t claim Barry as a dependent proves NOTHING absent more information. He might not have been a citizen or there might have been an agreed court adjudication.
So you have NO BASIS to state that not having Barry on Lolo and Ann’s return proves that they “were stripped of their custodian rights.” Ann may have simply transferred legal custody to the Dunhams and obtained BHO Sr.’s signature during his 1971 visit approving the conditions of the transfer.
