A divorce was granted, therefore a marriage was legally recognized, RummyChick. This is far more evidentiary than anything you’ve speculated about other marriages in Kenya.
And, despite your abrasive protestations, there is no Constitutional issue created by marriage or the lack of it, as far as transmission of citizenship from father to son. An unknown father, however, transmits no citizenship at all.
No one seems to have entertained the remote possiblity that our President was born stateless, legally. That’s as much a possibility as some of the other wild speculations that have been put forth, here and elsewhere.
But, all of this, while entertaining, is moot as I’ve said to you before. Barack Obama’s legally and personally acknowledged father was a foreigner, not even a resident alien, and was subject to a foreign power. That alone is sufficient to deduct that he was not and is not a natural-born citizen of the United States, under the clear, intended meaning of the specific, technical term of art “natural-born citizen,” as evidenced by Elg, Happersett, Bingham, Jay and Vattel.
No, all it indicated is that Obama SR lied on a marriage application. there is plenty of evidence that he was already married. It wasn’t that hard to get married in a LUO tribe. Do some research.
They had a VOID marriage. A VOID marriage does not become legal just because there was a divorce. FInd me the law that claims that.. A VOID marriage is one that was VOID from the start. A VOID marriage can become VOIDABLE...but divorce is not one of the things that would cause that.
Their marriage or rather lack thereof is significant on two fronts.
It changes Ann’s residency requirement for citizenship if Obama was born in Kenya.
It changes the UK Citizenship of Obama if born in the US..and YES , UK immigration would consider it a VOID MARRIAGE. There are some arguments about what would happen if he already had UK citizenship and it was later found out the it was from a VOID marriage due to deception on behalf of his parents. Also questions about what would happen if Ann had a customary marriage, he got UK citizenship, and then later they passed the “before 1971” rule.
His illegitamcy problem at birth could have been fixed if they ever had a subsequent legal marriage according to UK law.
Those claiming that his UK citizenship would make a difference based on his ALLEGIANCE...would have to take this into consideration.
Any lawyer representing a client who does not look into these issues is bordering on malpractice.
You can ignore these points.
They can’t or they risk being ultimately sued.
The reality it is this..it is perfectly foreseeable that a court might look to his allegiance and not that of his father..and UK citizenship comes into play.
Just because YOU think they would only rule that certain things are applicable doesn’t mean that is the case...because you certainly seem to discount that Wong Decimated the clause in the 14th amendment.,,or maybe you are one of the ones that claim the 14th amendment has no bearing on a natural born case.
