"He is a CITIZEN, born of an American mother. "

Except if he was born overseas to a minor mother. As we should all know by now, Obama's mommy was younger than the requirement to bestow citizenship.

"4. December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986

If, at the time of your birth, both your parents were U.S. citizens and at least one had a prior residence in the United States, you automatically acquired U.S. citizenship with no conditions for retaining it.

If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16. There are no conditions placed on retaining this type of citizenship. If your one U.S. citizen parent is your father and you were born outside of marriage, the same rules apply if your father legally legitimated you before your 21st birthday and you were unmarried at the time. If legitimation occurred after November 14, 1986, your father must have established paternity prior to your 18th birthday, either by acknowledgment or by court order, and must have stated in writing that he would support you financially until your 18th birthday."

Red, that 5-year residence-after-the-age-of-16 rule for the American parent seems, as a practical legal matter, to have fallen by the wayside.

It would appear, after the continuing spate of SCOTUS rulings, that no one has standing as a plaintiff in a case like this. To judge by these rulings from Circuit Courts and Scotus, unless the INS itself wants to actually deport someone, there is no way to get this rule enforced as a plaintiff.

But as Al Gore used to say, "there is no controlling legal authority." E.G., Apparently, one cannot denounce an illegal alien, and have him deported. I think this affair was carefully planned with exactly that in mind.
