You certainly have to produce one to be able to volunteer to lay your life down for your nation in the military.
At the least, a Commander-in-Chief should have to share THAT.
His own father and mothers wedding in Hawaii
may not have been properly documented. "How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore," Obama writes in his memoir.
It's understandable that Obama overlooks
the particulars, since Ann Dunham was probably a minor when Barack Obama Sr., an already married 24-year-old, impregnated her?
Obama weighed eight pounds, two ounces when he was born on August 4, 1961 (p. 22 of Dreams from My Father), so we can assume he went close to full term, or nine months.
His parents marriage took place six months before his birth on February 2nd, 1961. Nine months before Obamas birth would be early November 1960, about three to four weeks before Ann Dunhams 18th birthday on November 29, 1960.
It appears that Barack Sr., a married man of about 24, almost certainly impregnated a 17-year-old Dunham.
