I am not sure what part of “he qualifies “ you mean. If born in Kenya UK Citizen and US citizen because he was born out of wedlock. The only possible out to that is if you find that it has to be a contiguous 12 month period right before his birth or if Ann was married in a customary marriage in Kenya which I am pretty sure the US would have recognized...but not 100% sure. Even if Ann had that ceremony it would be pretty hard to prove at this point and Obama would find no reason to make such a claim because it would not work in his favor.

He can milk this for the poor woe is me scenario.

If you are talking natural born citizen there is no other statute. You only have the Constitution and the 14th amendment with case law trying to interpret it.

I thought Obama’s parents were married here. In any case, it doesn’t say anything about being legally married, simply the qualifications that the “parents” (not “spouses”) must fulfill.

This was an immigration provision, so it would be defining and implementing the general provisions of a law, which in turn would have its roots in some Constitutional article. However, I still can’t find it, so I can’t swear that it said “natural born” and not simply “citizen.”

But in any case, he’s clearly hiding something. The fact that the House came out and declared him a “native of Hawaii” (whatever that means) today indicates to me that he’s worried and there’s a problem there.

This would make a great mystery if we were just reading it and it didn’t determine the future of our country...
