Well, in the case of Obama's parents, his mother wasn't old enough to confer citizenship, so his father's age and status are the controlling facts, right?

That is assuming he was born outside the country. If he was born in the US, his birth here and his mother's American citizenship could have made him a citizen at birth.

I'm not sure of the details any more. It's all very fuzzy to me at this point, but if you want to make a strong case against "anchor babies" somebody who had an American mother wouldn't be the best place to start.

You state: If he was born in the US, his birth here and his mother’s American citizenship could have made him a citizen at birth.

A Citizen yes, but it wouldn’t make him a natural born Citizen which Article 2 Section 1 calls for to be president.
