I've always thought that whether or not Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, the real point is that supposing it were true that would be a technicality. In the sense that the purpose of the constitutional "natural born citizen" provision was to seek to limit the office of POTUS to patriotic Americans -a set of which Mr. Obama has apparently never been a member.A few documents have to be submitted. Follow the link. It isn't a difficult process.I’m certainly familiar w/ FS-240, but simply being born abroad to a foreign father & American mother isn’t sufficient to convey American citizenship.
I note that you are speaking in the present tense. Much of the discussion of Obama's citizenship at birth that I've seen relates to the requirements for birth citizenship under the laws existing on the date of Obama's birth. Which were not the same as those applicable to babies born to American citizens abroad today.
Both Drew68 & I are relating the applicable requirements to the time in question (1970 for Maya), cIs. If there's any difference in our approaches, it's that Drew refers to the State Dept site and my source is the USC itself. The USC spells out the requirements at various points in time. In immigration law the important cutoffs are 11/14/86, 12/24/52, and various 'befores'.
I think the '52 requirements (10/5 after 14) were barely adequate, and the '86 revison (5/2) is ridiculously lax.
The 'befores' are interesting - most differentiated between the gender of the US citizen parent; a US citizen father passing his citizenship essentially automatically, whereas a US citizen mother abroad had far more stringent hoops to jump through.
