If you look carefully that law was written under the assumption that the mother had been born to foreign born parents (British, Italian or Greek subjects), and that she, herself, might well have been born abroad.
That law has been changed. I'm guessing that if there's been any case law on the matter the girl won.
Nope, she was born in Kansas
Actually I can well imagine that her mindset at the time was so romantically driven by the “exoticness” of Obama Sr...
That when asked if she would like to visit Kenya, she jumped at the chance...
(Or was she concerned the Obama Sr might not come back and she was making sure that she was sticking close to him ????)
She was not a mature woman who would have had the patience to wait till after the baby was born and then go...
Apparantly she travelled TO Kenya extremely late in her pregnancy...
and what if the idea was to have Obama Jr born in Kenya ????
There are no parents of the parent conditions in the 1952 law. The grandparent provisions that came in in 1994 and would no have applied retroactively. Obama's Mama simply did not meet the residency requirements (5 after 14) for 0 to be a citizen at birth if born outside the US. If 0's father had been a naturalized citizen (he was a Kenyan (British subject, Kenya became independent in 1963) in HI on a student visa) the residency of Stanley Ann Dunham wouldn't matter.
