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.
See post 6452.
Hawaii law? Try US Government law.
I never said if he was born in Hawaii he wasn’t a Natural Born Citizen. I think that is for the SCOTUS to determine.
But he was born outside the US to an 18 year old girl, ACCORDING TO FEDERAL LAW, she is not old enough to transfer citizenship. She can petition for Obama to be a citizen, but that would make him NATURALIZED.
You are incorrect not only according to a law you want to summarily dismiss because.... you have an ego? But also the UCLA Law Professor Volkh agrees this law would apply to Stanley Ann Dunham Obama.
Just because it’s not what you want to hear doesn’t make it not true.
“That is a misreading of Hawaii law.”
Ha ha!
And just where did you learn that dribble?
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.

Can you direct me to where this is stated in the Constitution? My copy seems to be missing this.
It’s confusing. The Supreme Court would likely be sorting all this out.
