The born in Canada theory should be added to the analysis. A complete timeline analysis and documentation would be helpful.
Because of my caregiving I just don’t have the time to do a careful timeline or analysis. Years ago, before he was elected, all this info was out there and it just came to me. I did some research asking people this age from Seattle if they knew girls in high school in Seattle (and Stanley Ann went to the most “progressive” public school there - known as a commie school) who got “into trouble”. There wasn’t abortion and they didn’t stay home, attend school pregnant, and have the baby.
Uniformly, the girls were sent to either the Catholic or the Salvation Army run Unwed Mothers’ Homes in Vancouver. No one worried about the babies’ American citizenships (most probably had American young fathers) because the babies went for adoption by Canadian families.
I never heard a Canadian theory; I just figured it out with common sense. Stanley Ann’s parents would NEVER have let her marry, live with, or travel with the married foreigner. He was an older adult who knocked up their young teen!
Surely the parents were disappointed when, as was her right, Stanley Ann took her kid at the he last moment. But they came to accept her decision.
The TWG (typical white granny) and her daughter seemed to only be concerned about one thing, which was typical for 1961: whether the child would be considered a Bastard. It was a thing back then. Thus there were the newspaper announcements in Honolulu put in by TWG, and Stanley Ann put her name as Ann Obama in the Seattle directory for a while.
They never thought much about citizenship. At some point they could have naturalized him. But pretty soon she was marrrying an Indonesian with lots of pull so Barry could have a passport.
