[Mother of the Bride]

My husband was born in Nairobi, Kenya to American citizen parents who were missionaries. His parents registered his birth with the American embassy in Kenya. My husband moved to the U.S. at the age of 16 to finish high school and attend college. At the age of 18, he applied for an FCC license for radio work, and was told he was not a U.S. citizen and, therefore, ineligible.

He was forced to go through the naturalization process to become a citizen. His parents being citizens did not matter, in this case.

Thanks for your post, especially the part about your husband's parents registering his birth at the American embassy in Kenya. I understand why all these folks are trying to tell us to ignore this, quit wasting space, "defeat him on the issues", that this is just a technicality, but it is more than that. It goes to the root of the Rule of Law and I don't care how many people riot and shout racism, if in fact this man has been lying and is not Constitutionally-eligible to stand for office, then he must not be allowed to hold the office, period, end of sentence.

*Even if it means a Biden presidency?*

Yes, even if it means a Biden presidency. The precedent cannot be allowed to be set.

It appears that under current law your husband would have only had to file and pay a fee to get citizenship.

The relevant regulations are here

Obama is probably a citizen even if he was born in Kenya. What is not clear is whether he is a natural born citizen and therefore eligible for the presidency. I have been pooh-poohing this notion as a waste of time, but after spending several hours digging into case law, maybe there is something to it after all.
