My understanding is if Stanley Ann Dunham had obama in Hawaii she was too young to confer her citizenship to obama. She had to be 18 for so many months or something.

Not quite. If he was born in Hawaii, he's a probably a natural born citizen. (Well maybe not since his "father" was a British National, and not even a "Green Card" holder, but rather here on a student visa).

However if he was not born in the US, and his parents were married, then he's a not US citizen, unless later naturalized. Because in the case of a birth outside the country to a US Citizen parent and a foreign national, the US Citizen parent had to live 5 years in the US after their 14th birthday, (10 total) which his mother had not, (it's now two years, 5 total), in order for the child to be a US Citizen at birth.

Yes, I did not know the exact timing. I forget exacts once I find something because there is so much about obama my mind explodes.

Born in the US mainland of TWO US citizen parents -- that ain't Obama.
