I know you’re trying to make a point.

But in the Obama case, is it not true that he did not reside with his father, Barack Sr?

To say that a child should have been deported as his father was subject to deportation, if the child did not reside with that parent, is a problem.

In regard to an actual custodial connection, or parental connection, between Barack Sr and his child, my understanding is there was none, zip, zero, nada.

Young Barry resided with, and was raised by, others.

Yes, that is acknowledged, hence the word "should" in the thread title. Had Obama's mama been a faithful wife and followed her alleged husband to Harvard with his alleged child, they all would have been deported together.

And was raised in Indonesia for many years and most likely adopted by his stepfather as an Indonesian citizen. If you Live by the Technicality, you Die by the Technicality! You are trying to argue that Obama met the "Spirit" of Article II Citizenship even if he didn't meet the letter. The Man shares citizenship in Three, possibly four nations. Kenya, USA, Indonesia, and Britain. He usually used underhanded legal tricks to win his elections. If anybody doesn't deserve a break on a technicality it is this guy.
