FORTRUTHONLY; calpernia::you must have missed the many posts
the law stated that the parent had to have lived in the US for 5 years after age 14. BHO was born when his Mom was 18
she did NOT live in the US for ther 5 year period between age 14 and 5 years later, 19.
That means he was NOT born in a condition that would automatically grant him citizenship if the stories of his being born in Kenya/elsewhere are true.
His Mom was not military, government, old enough, or on a tourist visa or something according to these stories.
Cal, can you step in here with that citation please?
Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815 (1971): A person who is born abroad to an American mother shall lose his or her citizenship unless he or she resides in this country for at least five years between the ages of 14 and 28. (This is no longer the case; the statute under which Mr. Bellei lost his citizenship was repealed by Congress in 1978.)
But we keep digressing on this crap and ignore what is of substance: the truth is not what the MSM is interested in offering and there is a deliberate attempt in rewriting and reinterpreting the Constitution as see fit by the Supreme Court. Obama's background, his "experience", his peers need to be brought forward and not something which can be decided at legal level (by a bonehead Supreme Court as of late and a Democratic Congress) like his citizenship status.
