His Mom was too young to confer citizenship.

Hmmm, but if Barry had been adopted by the elder Dunhams, then he’d be in the clear - I think.

His mom was too young to confer citizenship if he was born outside the US and if her and Sr. where legally married and if she wasn't working for a government agency that sent her to Kenya.. Title 8 is a tangled mess. If he was born in the US, she did pass along citizenship (not to mention he has the 14th Amendment). If he was born in Kenya but his mother was not legally married, she may still have passed along citizenship. If he was born in Kenya and his mother was there as a government employee (such as working for a State school (she wasn't just pointing out how complicated it is) she would pass along citizenship.
