That site is only a web summary, not the actual law. Also it is the current law. But Obama's citizenship is controlled by the law in effect at the time he was born, not the current law.

Thus your assertion that this is "End of the Story" is incorrect.

Nice try though. Thanks for playing!

I believe the new law says it is retroactive.

Which would have been the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, also known as the McCarran-Walter Act. The text of that act is available Here and according to that even if Obama had been born outside the U.S., he would still be a natural born citizen through his mother.

The law currently in effect extends retroactively back to 1952
(see post 124).
