Wrong-o.

Because there are situations where children born in this country are not citizens.
Children of Ambassadors are the most obvious.
I was born with dual-citizenship,as was the Annointed One.
Hence, ineligible.

And, BTW, why won’t you read the law concerning his mother?

The law specifically states that children born to ambassadors are not citizens of this country. That is not a “for instance”, it is an exception.

The part of the law quoted regarding age of the mother is a section regarding children born OUTSIDE the United States.

In the law reference being posted, it says that if you are born on U.S. Soil, you are a U.S. citizen, no matter what. Note though that this particular page being posted does not reference changes in the law over time regarding the status of those who are born in the United States, I think because the court precedent is to grant citizenship to those born here regardless of the year they were born. I believe the LAW itself which granted anchor-baby status was post Obama’s birth.

However, Obama doesn’t fall under the anchor-baby provision, because his mother was a citizen. The only question for Obama regarding the law is if he was born in the United States. If he was, he’s natural born citizen. If not, his mother wasn’t old enough to confer natural-born citizenship to him, because his father was not a citizen.

That is why the argument hinges on his place of birth.
