You are the moron. I provided the information from US code. It answered a question. Yes, by that definition Obama's mother could not have conveyed citizenship. On the other hand, if Obama was born out of wedlock, then another rule applies.

Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother:

A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 309(c) of the INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and if the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person’s birth. The mother must be genetically related to the person in order to transmit U.S. citizenship.

She was 18 actually, but point still taken! Not eligible to pass on citizenship...
