Obama’s legal father was a nonresident alien, which means that Obama does not fulfill the meaning of natural-born citizen in the Constitution under original intent. No foreign law need be invoked at all. Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was not a U.S. citizen, had no permanent domicil here and was not a resident alien as a result.
Legal father means paternity under the law, just in case you feel the need to squirt out from under that one by claiming illegitimacy.
I’ll repeat again, there is no need for the bizzarre theories and wild goose chases you all seem so determined to perpetuate.
No need at all. It’s right there, staring us all in the face.
Maybe for child support, but not for US or British nationality then or now. A recent US court refused to recognize the US citizenship without nationalization of a foreign-born child whose mother was an unmarried foreign national and whose US citizen father later acknowledged the child.
The 1948 BNA has similar rules for the children of unmarried or bigamously married foreign women who bear children in foreign countries to British citizens.
Paternity does not convey legal citizenship meaning nationality meaning subject to sovereignty.
