Not necessarily... According to what I was reading — because of his mother’s age and the guy she married being from Kenya, Obama would not qualify to be a citizen. The mother wasn’t old enough, you see, even with her being a citizen. She had to have been in the U.S. a certain number of years by a certain age or Obama would not qualify. That’s the problem, you see...

This is true, if he was born in Kenya and if the marriage was legal, she needed five years of residency after her 14th birthday. She was just under that. If the marriage, however, wasn't legal, he could fall under single parentage or unknown parentage and the residency issue may not apply.. It can get crazy complicated... Let's just say I'm glad I'm not a SCOTUS judge and just someone clicking away about it on a keyboard...

Some have argued that since Barack I was married to someone else in Kenya, his marriage to Ann (if it occurred at all) was not legal in the U.S. If so, then what?

Yes, I’m glad I’m not the one trying to sort out these facts. And how could Obama answer them even if required to?

He knows the burden of proof is on him if it comes to that and how could anyone in his situation prove much of anything regarding his parents, their legal status, his birth and subsequent citizen status, etc. Plus he has made many, many statements in the course of his books that could be used against him if he changes stories.
