Which is why when they cite 8 USC Code 1401(g), they continue to cite the wrong version ( even Levin cites the wrong version ). The part that they cite:
a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person,was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years:
would include Obama. Under this, if he was born outside the US, he inherited citizenship. They say since he inherited citizenship at birth, he is a natural born citizen. However, that part only applies to those born after November 14, 1986. The part that applies to Obama and also Cruz is this :
... 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.)
Under this , which is the law that applied at the time, he didn't inherit citizenship because his mother was only 18. The only way to get citizenship was to become naturalized. This is the real reason for the hiding of the BC. Contrary to what the press reports, they know the correct version of the statute. If they believed the current version was the one that applied, they would have no problem admitting he was born in Kenya.
Except Obama was born in Hawaii to two American citizens: Stanley Ann Dunham and Frank Marshall Davis. The Kenyan was just a cover for Marshall since Marshall was already married.
