Submitted by HawaiiUScode on Wed, 2011-04-27 14:03. As per USC 48 Ch 3, S. 3 HAWAII (Hawaii Admission Act), Hawaii's statehood was not ratified and complete until September 18, 1961. Obama was born August 4, 1961. He is not a natural born US citizen.
First time I've seen that one. Anyone know about this? Will research. . .
Hawaii became a state in 1959. There was no ratification involved. In March 1959 Congress passed a law, the President signed it, and then the citizens of Hawaii voted in June of 1959 whether to accept statehood or not.
