You know I, too, have often heard something long those lines, but I have never been able to find in legal basis for that opinion.
Do you have any?

That is why I said “doubt”. However, if you’re referring to the laws surrounding the conferring of citizenship by parents, then there have been several legal opinions given right here (in the LONG thread from last year) which state that Obama’s mother was too young to automatically confer citizenship IF he was born overseas (which now seems likely). Then, of course, there’s the other thread that his father was a citizen of the British Empire and automatically conferred British/Kenyan citizenship which Obama would have had to renounce at the age of 18, which there is no record of him doing. Then, of course, there’s the question of being adopted by an Indonesian and taking up Indonesian citizenship which, again, he would have had to renounce at the age of 18 and which, if he travelled on an Indonesian passport after that, he quite obviously did not do.
All in all, a dog’s breakfast and, on the balance of probabilities, he is NOT entitled to be where he is for multiple reasons.
