Uhm... Isn’t Barry a bastard child? I mean, from what I understand, Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham’s marriage was legally null and void since Obama Sr. was still married to Kezia Aoko back in Kenya when he supposedly married Ann. I say supposedly because I have not seen a marriage certificate, yet; only divorce proceedings...

So, I guess my question is; wouldn’t that put his citizenship status under U.S. Code Title 8, Ch. 12, Subchapter III, Part I, § 1409, entitled, “Children born out of wedlock?”

Now, I don’t know what the code was at the time of Barry’s birth, but the current code seems to imply that the consanguineal father is the one who passes on U.S. citizenship to children born out of wedlock...

I’d be interested to hear what you guys have to say about § 1409:

“Isn’t Barry a bastard child?”

I speculated about that in an article I wrote here(see link):

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2076357/posts

At the time I didn’t know what the legal implications were and still don’t.

All I remember is that Obama seemed a tad skittish about the subject at the time.

Excerpt from article:

“Then the story broke about her {Palins} daughter Bristol being pregnant and not married.

And, of course, the mainstream media wolves — ever hungry for red-meat — were licking their chops!

Then Obama made the well known statement that children and family should be ‘out of bounds’ and that, after all, ‘his own mother was only eighteen when she had him’.

When he said ‘families are out of bounds’ I got the impression that he was attempting to preclude any snooping into his own family background.”

Night all!

All we have to go on is a COLB and a divorce decree. That is all a court would have to go on, the evidence at hand... The parties in question being deceased.

We can only go by what has been in the courts. A divorce was granted, therefor there was a marriage to dissolve.

If Barry is a bastard... Legally.... Then he inherrits his mom’s citizenship.

On television, Miz 0bama said Dunham/Soetoro/0bama's mother was young and unmarried when he was born.

"Uhm... Isn’t Barry a bastard child? I mean, from what I understand, Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham’s marriage was legally null and void since Obama Sr. was still married to Kezia Aoko back in Kenya when he supposedly married Ann."

That's what many believe. However, at this point, what is on record is that the state of HI believed the marriage was legal:

The 1964 divorce record from the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit State of Hawaii, states that Stanley Ann D. Obama and Barack H. Obama "were lawfully married in Wailuku, Maui, State of Hawaii, on February 2, 1961, by a person duly authorized to perform marriage cerimonies and ever since that date have been and are now husband and wife." http://www.scribd.com/doc/18130289/Obama-1964-Divorce-Papers-13-Pages-Missing-Pg-11

I would assume that another court order would be needed to "overturn" that 1964 court order.

Sooooo....let the discovery begin!
