Her mother wouldn’t have had to “emigrate” if she were an American. I seen no proof. It also depends on the law at the time of birth. The reason it’s important whether Obama was born in the U.S. is because of the law at the time, his mother was too young to have lived in the U.S. for the time requisite to confer citizenship on him.

If Granholm’s mother was a U.S. citizen, but didn’t meet the criteria, Granholm would have had to be naturalized.
