No, he is clearly incorrect. The two-citizen-parent argument did not emerge until after the election. As LorenC pointed out, the post Red Steel produced is NOT making that argument. It's a comment on a blog that was claiming Obama's mother was too young to pass on her US citizenship to her son even if he was born in Hawaii.

Ummmm Un-curios, that was a 1952 citizen statute that only applied to Obama if he was born overseas and his mother was too young to pass on her US citizenship. That particular federal statute would not effect Obama if he was born in Hawaii.

Again this argument is a clownish sideshow as I have pointed out.

You are correct about the 1952 law. However, Citizen Wells was confused. He thought it applied even to children born within the US, and that was the premise of his argument.

He was, of course, wrong, but he was most emphatically, NOT making any claims about two citizen parents being required for NBC.

Again this argument is a clownish sideshow as I have pointed out.

You'll get no argument from me there. Your statement above applies to all birther arguments.
