The law you cited was meant to deal with a situation where only one parent was a citizen, but they did not spend any significant time living in the US.

Exactly, and Obama's Mama didn't qualify and his Daddy, whomever that is, didn't either.

But that law isn't applicable to someone born in the US- the 14th Amendment governs in that situaition.
