No. Arnold can’t run.

Obama was always born a citizen because of his mother.

Birther stuff was always nonsense.

IIRC, she was too young to confer citizenship if he was, in fact, born in another country. Moot point now, though, isn't it?

Her age at the birthin disqualified her. That’s why they had to cook up the fake Hawaii thingy.

Obama was always born a citizen because of his mother.

Obama's eighteen year old mother was one year too young to confer American citizenship to her son IF he was born outside the United States. The requirement at that time was that at least one parent must have been a U.S. citizen for five years after age 14 to confer citizenship to a child born outside the United States.

Ancient history, that too few people bothered to learn.

“Obama was always born a citizen because of his mother.”

Not so. His mother had to be a citizen of the US for 5 years after age 14 for that to be true under the law at the time. Either that, or he had to be born in the US...hence the whole birth certificate controversy.

Under this definition, Cruz is a citizen from birth because his US citizen mother was older than 19 (she was in college in the 1950’s, more than 100 years before his birth). Unlike Obama, ther is no doubt here.

Of couse, the definition of “natural born citizen” is still at issue. I think that neither qualify for lack of TWO citizen parents, but that ship sailed in 2009.

No, it hasn't. And a cut-and-paste .pdf is not a birth certificate.

maybe some birther stuff was nonsense, but for real, in 1961, IF Stanley Anne had Barack in an unwed mom’s home over the border from her high school in Seattle, like a lot of pregnant girls did at the time, she was not old enough to confer citizenship onto him.

The law then was something like you can’t give your citizenship to offspring until you’ve lived in the USA for 5 years after age 15 and she was only 17.
There is no real birth certificate or evidence he was really born in Hawaii. Stanley anne showed up with newborn Barry in Seattle not even knowing how to change his diaper.

There is no evidence she was together with Barack senior much after the making of said child. She was only at the university for a couple of months as a very young freshman before she got knocked up by the african married man. Her friends were all back in Seattle. Hmmm.
