The statute as set out in your #6304 is not the applicable statute. The prior statute is effective with respect to Obama; the statute you quote is expressly not applicable to him by the specific terms of the effective date clause.

There is an extensive brief on this issue posted in July last year which engages in a detailed description of how the statutory pattern and effective date clauses work.

Do you have the link? :) Also if this statute doesn’t apply, what does the phrase “This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date;” even mean in this case?

Thanks in advance. Or if this is redundant for folks you can Private Reply instead.
