A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions 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. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be genetically related to the child to transmit U.S. citizenship.
Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother:
A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 309(c) of the INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and if the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person’s birth. The mother must be genetically related to the person in order to transmit U.S. citizenship.
This sentence which you have highlighted no longer applies to SADO and Obama for the new Obama legal team narrative revealed by their citation of Marguet-Pillado (M-P).
The M-P citation claims to confer NBC status anywhere outside the US for babies who are biologically related to a US citizen subject to residency requirements. Would the Obama legal team cite to a case which would make Obama ineligible to be a citizen, as he would be ineligible if BHO Sr. and SADO had a legal marriage? SADO would fail the five year residence test after age 14.
So, therefore, the Obama legal team is now not only giving up the pretense of an HI birth, but also the pretense of a legal marriage to BHO Sr. in order for Barry to be a citizen under the single mom language:
“A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 309(c) of the INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and if the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person’s birth.”
As I have previously opined in FR comments, the Boston Globe reporter's book “The Other Barack” (Boston Globe is a NY Times property) threw BHO Sr. under the bus as a drunken, wife-beating bigamist. FOIA INS docs obtained by the author and others reveal BHO Sr. was deported for suspected bigamy.
I don't believe for a minute that the NY Times/Boston Globe publishing arm would eviscerate Barry's family narrative without the express permission of Barry himself and the DNC.
After the revelation of the forgery in June of 2011 the romantic account of the BHO Sr.-SADO narrative had to be sacrificed to save Barry and the only out with the Kenyan revelations coming is what I have written about and what Danae called IIRC “The Bastard Gambit.”
Since the term “bastard” now applies to over half of the babies born to US citizen moms under the age of 30, let's just call it the Out-of-wedlock Gambit or OOWG.
The OOWG tries to solve two problems for Barry.
First, if Barry's mom was single because of bigamy, then the 1948 BNA expressly prevents BHO Sr. from passing to Barry his UK citizenship, so NO dual citizenship for Barry at birth.
Second, if Barry's mom is single and gave birth outside the US, then SADO meets the residency requirement to pass US citizenship at birth to Barry...and then that can be spun to equate citizen at birth to mean natural born citizen by Barry's unscrupulous lawyers.
Amazing how that works!
