I am convinced that Obama is an impostor - a total fraud...
However the age at which one got a Social Security Number in the mid 1970’s is not very important. While it may have been a technical Federal Requirement at that time - not sure it was or not... it was not uncommon as a teenager then to get a job and not have one at all... The employer just didn’t report you as an official employee. This still goes on today whether one is an illegal alien or not - it is called “under the table” ... I help two jobs in the mid 1960s and didn’t get a SSN until I joined the Army late 1965.
Bottom line Americans were just not so much under the thumb of our government back then... (I wish it were still that way)
Also - children were not required to have a SSN until the IRS finally caught on that quite a few Americans were claiming their cats and dogs as dependents on their income tax returns... not sure of that date.
I had to get a SS when I was 15 and had to tell my employer I was 16 to get the job, then the state labor guy came in and said I had to be 18 to do the work I was doing...

I cannot say what happened in the 60s, but in 1971 whe I took my first job as a sacker in a grocery store in Oklahoma (not exactly the cultural center of the universe) I had to have a SSN to work. I even recently looked at my yearly SS printout of withholding history and it shows my SSN withholding for 1971 while I was still in High School.
If the young Barrack Obama worked at an Ice Cream place in the mid 70s without a SSN, then his employer was commiting tax fraud as was Obama. It WAS a requirement in the 70s to pay SS taxes EVEN if you didn’t make enough to pay federal income tax or even file a return.
