GIVE IT A REST!

Prior to May 24, 1934, U.S. citizen mothers were not permitted to transmit U.S. citizenship to their children born abroad. The Act of May 24, 1934 (the “1934 Statute”) gave U.S. citizen mothers equality of status regarding their ability to transmit U.S. citizenship. However the provision was not applied retroactively. Therefore, children born before May 24, 1934 to a U.S. citizen mother and an alien father did not acquire U.S. citizenship.

On or after May 24, 1934, a child born outside the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whose father or mother (or both) was a citizen of the United States at the time of the child’s birth, would be considered a United States citizen provided that the U.S. citizen parent had resided in the United States prior to the birth of the child. The previous interpretation of “resided” continued to apply under the 1934 Statute.

Unless Obamas Mama renounced her US Citizenship (No record of that) or Obama did the same, he is a US Citizen.

Fer Petes sake....that horse is dead - OK?

No, the horse is not dead. He is NOT a natural born citizen and thus ineligible to be President.

I just have one question for you. Why does Barack show a copy of a Hawaian birth certificate? If it’s what you said wouldn’t he be able to explain his foreign birth in a legal manner?

the US mama had to reside in the USA for 5 years after the age of 16 to confer US citizenship on her child born abroad with a foreign father

Stanley was 18

In order to be POTUS you MUST be a natural born citizen of the USA not just a citizen. Natural born citizen is what is being contested.

To ASCO: LISTEN UP!

You are obviously exceedingly THICK headed.

Blather all you want. The mere FACT that the Obama campaign has been pawning off a FORGED BC on the public is all that is needed to disqualify him.

Forging official documents is a FELONY.

"Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required.

I remember when I earned my American citizenship, it was told to me that I couldn’t hold any other citizenship of any other country while having American citizenship.

According to most of the documents that were posted, Barry had Indonesian citizenship by way of his stepfather adopting him, and therefore, Mr. Obama renounced his American citizenship citizenship by adopting Indonesian citizenship.

He’s an Indonesian national and he should be deported back home.

The argument would be that Barack Obama lied about where he was born.

You’re wrong because you are not quoting the relevant statute which would pertain to Obama’s particular circumstances. I believe that the US citizen parent - in this case the mother - would have had to reside in the US for at least two years after age 18 in order to transfer citizenship at birth to the child born abroad. Obama’s mother was less than 20 at the time of his birth, so Obama couldn’t sneak in under that provision.

IIRC the “reside” clause had to be for five years after the age of eighteen. IIRC she was not the required twentythree.

That’s why Berg’s lawsuit is still alive.

He maybe a US citizen.... but, the US constitution states the a candidate for President must be a “ Natural Born “ us citizen.
Arnold is a US citizen... but, he is not a natural born US citizen... therefore, can not run for President of the USA.

No, the horse ain't dead. Keep reading in the same article:

"The 1940 Statute also provided for more stringent requirements for prior residence where, at the time of the child's birth, one of the parents was a U.S. citizen and the other was an alien. On or after January 13, 1941, in the case of a child born to a U.S. citizen parent and an alien parent, the U.S. citizen parent had to have resided in the United States or its outlying possessions for 10 years, at least 5 of which were after attaining the age of 16 years in order to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child."

At the time of his birth, his mother did not reside in the the U.S. for 5 years after her 16th birthday. She was only 18 when Barack was born.

"United States citizen provided that the U.S. citizen parent had resided in the United States prior to the birth of the child."

It seems the lovely Stanley was NOT residing in the US nor had she meet the 5 year requirement. Watch the Berg video.
