I thought the born out of wedlock status of his Mom, the laws changed in around 1967 and the previous definition, she didn’t meet those requirements. Been awhile since I read them, so maybe I’m not remembering it accurately.
Nope. As can be seen from the State Dept quotes I provided it was the residency requirement for the woman that was married to an alien and gave birth outside the US that changed (was lowered). The change would have made Obama eligible to be a citizen if his parents were legally married and he was born after the change (he wasn't). Stanley Ann did not meet the five year residency after age 14 that was the law in 1961 if she was married to BHO Sr. She would have had to be 19 when she gave birth, but she was only 18. Since I believe she wasn't legally married in either Hawaii or Kenya due to BHO Sr's legal tribal, non-Muslim marriage to Kezia.
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be genetically related to the child to transmit U.S. citizenship.
Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother:
A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 309(c) of the INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and if the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person’s birth. The mother must be genetically related to the person in order to transmit U.S. citizenship.
