"He is not as his mother was not old enough to be eligible to transfer citizenship on her own"

Wait, this is the first time I've heard this. I know of no requirement that the mother be of a certain age. What law is this?

It was the law of the State of Hawaii in 1961. It has since been changed, but it was not made retroactive. A mother who gave birth outside of the US with a foreigner as the father could only transfer citizenship if she had lived in the US for 5 years after she was 16 years old. Stanley Ann Dunham was only 19 at the time of Barack's birth, so she was not old enough.

I do not believe that that applied if the baby were born in Hawaii -- just if he were born in another country. But I'm not a lawyer and I don't even play one on TV.

Dunham’s travels need to be reconstructed, in order to establish that she was OOTC at the time.

Its hard for me to believe that she jetted off to Kenya,
Indonesia, or anywhere else during her late term.

Does any such evidence exist?

I heard Michale Medved say on his radio show that Stanley Ann missed the citizenship rule by a couple of months. If she was born on November 29, 1942, by how many months did she fail to make the five year rule? It is obvious that Medved does not want to do the math.

"could only transfer citizenship if she had lived in the US for 5 years after she was 16 years old."

Was it 5 years after she was 16 years or 14 years as is stated in post #15. I also see post 32 that says it is 16 years. This is getting confusing.
