Because they aren’t arguing the law. They are trying to twist and squeeze the law to fit a goal.

Obama’s mother did not have to be 21 for him to be a natural born citizen. She was a citizen, she was in a U.S. State when he was born, thus he is a natural born U.S. citizen regardless of her age.

The “five years after 16 years of age” is irrelevent if he matches the requirements set before that clause, and he does.

The fact that this keeps being brought up is stupid.

Apparently, the law at the time of his birth said otherwise.
