Nope. As can be seen from the State Dept quotes I provided it was the residency requirement for the woman that was married to an alien and gave birth outside the US that changed (was lowered). The change would have made Obama eligible to be a citizen if his parents were legally married and he was born after the change (he wasn't). Stanley Ann did not meet the five year residency after age 14 that was the law in 1961 if she was married to BHO Sr. She would have had to be 19 when she gave birth, but she was only 18. Since I believe she wasn't legally married in either Hawaii or Kenya due to BHO Sr's legal tribal, non-Muslim marriage to Kezia.
Ok, thanks . . . I had forgotten the 5 years 18 vs. 19 and IF her marriage was illegal then that does change it to the illegitimate version . . . but doesn’t born of two parents still apply whether they were married legally or not?
Seizethecarp,
Factoring into this is, if there’s a divorce decree, does that imply that at least in the u.s. ‘s eyes Stanley Ann and Obama SR were married, and then the ‘born outside of u.s. to too-young u.s. citizen mom married to alien guy’ would apply?
Corollary: are tribal marriages from Africa recognised as valid in the u.s.?
What a tangled mess to sort out!
