,,,,So a child of one United States Citizen is a Natural Born Citizen?,,,,,
I appreciate your input, Rummy Chick and I and others have been discussing what if Obama was illegitimate because his father Obamination Sr. was married in Kenya (tribal marriage or otherwise)before he supposedly married Stanley An in Hawaii..It could be a void marriage due to the fact Obie Sr was not free to marry in Hawaii as that would be polygamy, but he could have married in Kenya and been a legal marriage as polygamy was legal there... You are right about the 5 years after 14 however if the mother was unwed it is only one year residence in US. That pertains to US statutory citizenship which is different than Natural Born Citizen for Constitutional purposes. Welcome to the discussion. here is someone’s thoughts on the matter many other detailed papers have been written detailing court cases, constitutional history legislative history 14th amendment etc..the question IMO needs to be decided by the US Supreme Court. We are getting quite a legal and investigative workout as well as history lessons here!

Was that 1-year thing in force back in 1961? I hadn’t heard that at all. And, according to 0bambi’s own book, he has no record of them marrying, however, they did get divorced. That tells me they may not have gotten married in the U.S. And yes, Sr. was a bigamist.
I still think with all the questions and all the money he’s spending, that he should at least be forced to prove he’s eligible. The Chicago machine really covered this as much as they could and smoothed it over.
