I’m sure you must have been shown this before, but here it is again:

At the time of Obama’s birth his mother was not four full years past her fourteenth birthdate so she was not able to pass citizenship to him on the grounds you tried to float. Nice try though. The dissonance factor is at work with too many inattentive among We The People ...

“At the time of Obama’s birth his mother was not four full years past her fourteenth birthdate so she was not able to pass citizenship to him.”

It is my understanding the above does not apply to an unmarried minor. Consider the case of an unmarried 16 year old American who might unexpectably give birth while on a short trip overseas. Is her child not an American? I believe that child is born an American. I understand that was the law even when 0bama was born. If his mother had been legally married, that would be different. Then the father’s citizenship is important.

Perhaps, I heard wrong, but believe me, I’m not trying to find an excuse to confer citizenship on 0bama. I did not vote for him. I do not want him to be President. There is no dissonance factor at work here. I’m just objectively considering all possiblities.
