His mother was American therefore he is natural born.

FYI, the birthers actually have a point on this. You know what they say about broken clocks.

If Obie Jr. really really was born outside the US (I know he wasn't, but let's pretend for a minute), he would not be a US citizen at birth because his mother did not meet the residency requirements to convey automatic US citizenship on her son. The 1952 immigration and nationality act required the US citizen parent to have lived in the US for at least 5 years following her 16th birthday. Being only 19 years old, she did not meet that requirement.

But of course, this is all moot since he was born in Hawaii.

Some birthers use the above to establish a motive for her to have fraudulantly registered his birth in Hawaii. That argument fails because her status as a US citizen would entitle her to naturalize her son as soon as she returned to the USA. Now why would she risk a felony fraud conviction when she could obtain citizenship for her son through perfectly legal means?

Yes, but he would still not be NBC, just a naturalized.

However, she moved to Indonesia, where little bammy became an INDONESIAN CITIZEN, enrolled in an Indonesian madrasa, and learned to be a good America hating muzzie!

What was the date he renounced his Indonesian citizenship???????

Isn't it obvious? It's because she and her family knew that their baby would grow up to be the 44th President of the United States.
