U.S. law does not allow U.S. nationality to be conferred on a foreign born baby of a foreign father unless the mother has a total of 14 years U.S. residency, five (5) of those years post age 14. I believe that is 8 U.S.C. 1401.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. 8 U.S.C. 1401 makes no mention of this regarding people who were born in the US to a woman who was a legal US citizen.

The law clearly shows that 0bama is a natural-born US citizen. It is time to drop the birther issue. It is done.

8 U.S.C. 1401...
The law...

Congress is only authorized to establish laws of naturalization!
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization...

Title 8 is that Rule.
TITLE 8 - ALIENS AND NATIONALITY

Part I: Nationality at birth and collective naturalization
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER III > Part I - Nationality at Birth and Collective Naturalization

No matter how far down the line it falls, and it falls very far, that "Part" still falls under, everything above it. The Title sets what it governs, as Congress is empowered, and this Title says that the law concerns aliens, not those having other Citizenship.

Read the USC Title names. The Title sets what it governs.
# Title 6 Domestic Security
# Title 7 Agriculture
# Title 8 Aliens and Nationality
# Title 9 Arbitration
# Title 10 Armed Forces

And Title 8 governs aliens. It isn't "Citizens and Nationality", is it?

How hard is that to understand?

But it DID at the TIME.

That being the point.
