First a Quo Warranto is issued( a demand that he show proof that both his parents were U.S. citizens)

If Obama senior was already married in Kenya then was his marriage to Obama's mother valid? If Obama's parents we're not legally married, then does Obama's father's citizenship have any bearing on his own citizenship?

It's citizenship of the parents; whether or not they were married or divorced or never married or polygamists is pretty much irrelevant.

Gee! Isn't this was "basic" stuff? Why all the questions? Didn't you get the answers to all this "basic" stuff in school? ( Just wondering.)

Whether or not obama’s mother was legally married or not is of no importance . Natural Born citizenship requires that both Parents be U.S. citizens , not whether they are legally married. For what’s it’s worth in 1790 , citizenship was carried by the man, women did not acquire the right to pass on citizenship until the 1920’s. obama could be a native born citizens , but there is no way he could be a Natural born citizen.
