Normally, you are right. But the requirement for the time Obama was born was that if one parent was a citizen and one wasn’t (as Obama Sr), then the citizen must have lived in the US for at least 10 years, five of which over the age of 16. She was 18 when Obama was born.

Also, if Hawaii allows for Birth certificates to be issued later on if the child was born outside Hawaii and the parent was a Hawaii resident for at least a year prior to the birth. Now if it would show the place of birth, that’s another issue.

Thanks. WHere are these regulations spelled out? I thought the term ‘natural born’ was pretty much undefined.

Does anyone have a cite for this? I'd like to be able to point to an actual link to the info.
