“That is not Defronio’s rationale. The mother’s American citizenship “does not mitigate” the father’s status as British subject and citizen, regardless of birthplace. One possible interpretation is that neither parent can have a loyalty to any other foreign nation, and that is what makes Obama not a citizen.”

You mean “that is what makes Obama not a “natural born” citizen. Obama IS a citizen if he was born on US soil, ie Hawaii. He is NOT “natural born” because his father was not a US citizen and his mother, thought a citizen, did not meet the age requirement to transfer her citizenship. And Obama’s father being a British subject at the time of Obama’s birth makes Obama a British subject at birth.

You are exactly correct. I was sloppy in in forgetting to put in the phrase that was the whole point!
