If Obama was already married then the marriage was not valid in the US . Would this mean he was born out of wedlock? One more twist to the bizarro commie’s heritage. One would need to see the law back then.

Here is the current law

Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother:

A child born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under section 301(g) of the Act if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the child’s birth, and if the mother had previously been present in the U.S. or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year.

Two things: Michelle Obama did describe his mother as being very young and very single when she gave birth.

And the way I understand it is that the law you si cite was not the one in effect at the time of his birth. At that time, he only got us citizenship if the citizen parent had been a citizen at least 5 years after the age of 18.She had not.Anyway he would automatically get the citizenship of his father, British. If this was the case, he would also be ineligible. Basically, none of these scenarios qualify for the natural born citizen requirement.

There is no evidence -- none -- that there ever was a marriage. There is a reference to a marriage in Dunham's divorce -- but there's no evidence a marriage ever took place.

There is no record of:

A wedding announcement
Blood tests
A wedding license
A clergyman, judge or guru
Guests
Witnesses
Photos
A wedding cake
A limo

There is no evidence that Barack Obama Sr. and Anna Dunham ever occupied the same dwelling.
