Again, you make no sense.
Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 as it stood in 1961, 0bama wold NOT be a natural born citizen if born abroad because neither of his parents could confer that status.
His father was a foreign national, and his mother was too young.
The law was subsequently amended removing the age restriction, but that does not "grandfather" 0bama in.
I believe it is the amended law to which you erroneously refer. That version of the law is not a factor in this discussion.
§338-17.8, Certificates for children born out of State. (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child. (b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate. (c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]Source
This is the law that lets people in HI register births that didn't occur in HI. I believe the notation at the end (L 1982) refers to the year the law was enacted, in this case, 1982.
Am I wrong? Is this not what the number "1982" means in the law? If so, then it seems it's just another baseless internet rumor that "at the time of his birth, Obama's mother could have registered his birth even if he wasn't born in the state of HI", which makes a LOT of what still fuels the controversy to this day quite moot.

No, you aren't making sense. What you mention here was not the issue.
The issue was about the claim he could get a Hawaiian birth certificate if he was born elsewhere.
Actually he would not be a citizen at all, unless later naturalized. That's all the law deals with, citizenship acquired at birth, not "natural born citizenship".
