Go to page 2 and you will see the law that fits Obama's circumstances since he was supposedly born in 1961.

"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 legitimation 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."

The law you are quoting is the 1986 law. It is not retroactive except for Military families.

Follow Davids postings on this. He states he is a lawyer and has given a good explanation of it. In fact David may give you the link to his explanation.

I read something in another thread that said he was three years old in 1967. Speculation is that this was a way to get past the mother’s five year requirement after age eighteen.

In his book, he said he was fifteen when he ran across his birth certificate with a bunch of old papers in the attic.

It’s like reading stuff from the KGB, where the spymasters create a false identity for their agent, called a “legend”.

I believe the law you refer to applies only to persons born outside the USA.
