“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) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions 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, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be genetically related to the child to transmit U.S. citizenship.”
Kabar, Math is your friend.
Five years after age 14, means that the mother/father must be at least 19years of age. Do we agree on that point?
Based on Wikipedia information (which changes by the day wrt to any Obama and/or relatives history), we have the following knowns:-
Stanley Ann Dunham - born Nov 29,1942
Barack Hussein Obama - born Aug 4th 1961 (we are made to believe)
11/29/1942 to 08/04/1961 equals 18yrs and 9 months.
Therefore Stanley Ann Dunham was not yet 19years of age at the time of BHO’s birth and therefore does not meet the 14 years PLUS 5yrs requirement.
Simple as that dontcha agree?
If Obama's mother was not legally married, then a different provision 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.
