From the U.S. State Dept. website http://travel.state.gov/law/info/info_609.html

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child’s birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.

Stanley Ann Dunham Obama was too young to meet the age requirement.

But nobody has yet proven that Stanley Ann Dunham was not in Hawaii at the time of her son’s birth.

All we have is the boasting of people in Kenya whose veracity is doubtful.

It is highly unlikely that an pregnant American teenager would travel to Kenya to give birth.

If Obama was born in Hawaii then he is a natural born citizen by right granted by the 14th amendment.

This is regardless of his mother’s age, marital status, the citizenship of his father, any other citizenships he might be eligible for, the opinions of a French legal scholar from before the United States existed, or Jerome Corsi’s (who is often wrong about most everything) interpretations of law.

We are stuck with him until Noon on 20 January 2013. He’s not going anywhere until then.

First of all, you have no proof BHO was born abroad.

You have NO PROOF his mother left the country before he was born. Since she was a minor up to shortly before his birth, she would have required the permission of her own parents to leave the USA.

There’s nothing in that statute that says anything about the age of the mother at the time of the birth of the child so your comment that “she was too young” to confer her own citizenship onto her child are ridiculous.

Birthers make thinking conservatives look stupid!

Even if she were old enough she would only be able to pass US citizenship NOT natural born citizenship. If Obama Sr. is his father HE CAN NOT BE A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, even if he were born in the white house.
