I don’t know if I am even up for explaining it anymore.
No, you are incorrect. The law you posted is from 1986 to present.
Obama was born in 1961, therefore THIS law applies:
3. January 13, 1941 to December 23, 1952
If you were born between January 13, 1941 and December 23, 1952, you automatically acquired U.S. citizenship if both your parents were U.S. citizens and at least one had a prior residence in the United States. You didn’t have to do anything special to keep your U.S. citizenship.
If only one parent was a U.S. citizen, that parent must have lived in the United States for at least ten years prior to your birth, and at least five of those years must have been after your parent reached the age of 16. To keep your citizenship, you must have lived in the United States for at least two years between the ages of 14 and 28 (called a residence requirement). However, as a result of a U.S. Supreme Court decision, if you were born after October 9, 1952, your parent still had to fulfill the residence requirement in order to pass citizenship to you, but your own residence requirement for retaining U.S. citizenship were abolished. If your one U.S. citizen parent was your father and you were born outside of marriage, the same rules applied if your father legally legitimated you before your 21st birthday and you were unmarried at the time.
Stanley was only 18 and therefore not old enough to transfer citizenship.
Oooppps, posted wrong years, sorry, I’m tired.
4. December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986
If at the time of your birth both your parents were U.S. citizens and at least one had a prior residence in the United States, you automatically acquired U.S. citizenship with no conditions for retaining it.
If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16. There are no conditions placed on retaining this type of citizenship. If your one U.S. citizen parent is your father and you were born outside of marriage, the same rules apply if your father legally legitimated you before your 21st birthday and you were unmarried at the time. If legitimization occurred after November 14, 1986, your father must have established paternity prior to your 18th birthday, either by acknowledgment or by court order, and must have stated in writing that he would support you financially until your 18th birthday.
You are mixing up Constitutional readings with case law regarding the definition on ‘natural born citizen’. There is nothing, I repeat nothing in the US Constitution requiring the mother be 18 years of age.
The law is clear, if you are born on US soil you are a US Citizen period, a natural born citizen at that. End of story.
If you were born in Kenya, say in 1961 to an American citizen, you are an American citizen, not a natural born citizen, but still eligible for POTUS if you subsequently grow up on US soil.
Barry’s mother at age 18 had fulfilled residence requirements. That she had to have had five years residence after the age 16 to be able to transfer citizenship to her child is complete utter nonsense. That is a misreading of Hawaii law.
