Nowhere in the BNA of 1948 does it say marriage was paramount in Citizenship by descent.

If a child is born out of wedlock within the UK and its territories, but the father was an alien of the UK, then your argument applies. You are missing the key concept in section 23, which discusses legitimated children.

Do you understand the difference between legitimate and legitimated?

No. None of that applies to Barry. A legitimated child is legitimated under section 23 if the UK subject father marries the mother of the child AFTER the child is born. Prior to a post-birth marriage, such a child was illegitimate and NOT a UK subject at birth.

There is zero evidence that BHO Sr. and Stanley Ann were married anywhere, bigamously or not, Muslim or not AFTER Barry was born...and which could have legitimated him under section 23, IMO.

Yes, I do. But apparently you don’t.

So we have either two things here - or BOTH

You are woefully unable to understand how to read the law and/or you are trying to obfusicate.

Your posts have to be dismissed.

And you wonder why birthers get such a bad rap??? Because of posts like yours.
