Not so. Obama's status depends totally on that of his father who was, in fact, required by law to add his new baby boy to his visa. Obama's mother's status was guided by laws in effect then. The magic age to make her relevant was 19. She wasn't yet 19.

There was a time (1961 is part of that time) when a woman's domicile was determined by that of her husband.

A baby born to a nonresident female minor who was wife of a nonresident foreign student here under a student visa was, in 1961, clearly a foreign subject or citizen.

The applicable laws were changed later and not made retroactive so the standards of 1961 still apply.

Read Wu v. The USSC clearly specifies that people such as Obama were not citizens.

Most excellent! And by the same process, Elg of Perkins v Elg was a natural born citizen because he father was naturalized and her mother was deemed a citizen through him when Miss Elg was born.
