I just posted agreeing with Dog Gone on where he was born.

I am ignorant of American law in 1981 as to the number of years and how old was his mother at the time.

This BC thing is complicated to those just now taking a fresh look as to why Obama and his campaign chooses a Dan Rather Document over just posting the real document.

Something is amiss, but what?

Here is the basic law in effect at the time.

Obama’s mother was 18 when he was born. Thus she had not resided in the US for at least 5 years after her 16th birthday.

“According to FindLaw.com, cited by Geraghty, the requirements that were in force from Dec. 24, 1952 to Nov. 13, 1986, encompassing the time of Obama’s birth, state, “If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least 10 years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.”
