“Does he get citizenship through his mother?”"
"No, she was too young."
According to my calculations she was 18 at the time of his birth.
Obama's supposed birthday was
8-4-61
11-29-42 was his mother's
She would have been turning 19 that November after his birth in August.
To my knowledge 18 wasn't too young was it?
18 was too young,
INS rules at the time of 0’s birth said that for a us citizen mom to convey us citizenship to the child born outside the us, the mom had to have lived in the US for 5 years past the age of 14.
That would be 19, so Stanley Ann was too young (by almost 4 months).
....To my knowledge 18 wasn’t too young was it? ...
she did not have enough physical presence in the usa 5 years after age 14

NATIONALS AND CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AT BIRTH
SEC. 301. (a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the
United States at birth:

section 7:
(7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United
States and its outlying possessions of parents one of w’hom is an
alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the
birth of such person, was physically present in the United States
‘ or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less
‘ than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age

in the Armed Forces of the United States by such citizen parent
may be included in computing the physical presence requirements

If born on foreign soil mother had to have lived for five continuous years after the age of 14 to confer US citizenship upon offspring. At that time. SOmething also about whether married to foreign father or unmarried. Can’t remember. But people need to realize that citizenship at birth and NBC are not the same thing.
It wasn't youth, it was time living inside the United States which gave the right to provide the right to pass on citizen ship off shore IF he was born off shore. . . according to the law in effect at the time Obumba was born. Exactly how old she was is somewhat irrelevant. . .
"At the time he was born, US law afforded citizen by descent to a child born abroad of parents married to one another, where one parents was not a US citizen but the other was, if and only if the citizen parent had resided in the United States (or its outlying territories) for a total of at least ten years, at least five of which had occurred after the age of 14. Since Stanley Ann Obama was 18 years, 8 months, and 6 days old on the day of Barack’s birth, she could not possibly have resided in the United States for five years after her 14th birthday, and thus she could not pass citizenship by descent."
Stanley Ann would have had to have been nineteen to have passed on her citizenship rights to Obumbly.
This is, of course, all predicated on whether or not he was born somewhere other than inside the USA.
