[null and void]

The 1952 Statute provided that an illegitimate child acquired U.S. citizenship from a U.S. citizen mother if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the child’s birth and had been physicially present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year.

So Stanley Ann had compelling reasons to believe that little baby Barak would not be regarded as an American citizen should anyone think he was born in Kenya to a mother who was not legally married (due to polygamy) and hadn't been in the US for a continuous period of one year?

So Stanley Ann had compelling reasons to not leave the USA, according to you.

Nevertheless, the PROPER reading of that statute is that Barack Obama was a natural born US citizen *even if*:
- his Mom was not married, AND
- he was born overseas (Kenya, Moscow, North Pole, etc.)

The physically present rule was more than satisfied since Stanley Ann Dunham grew up in the US. Which blows your whole “He’s not a natural born citizen if born in Kenya” theory up in smoke.

To wit: “However, the 1934 Statute permitted either the father or mother to transmit U.S. citizenship. This was construed as also authorizing the transmission of citizenship to an illegitimate child born abroad on or after May 24, 1934 to a U.S. citizen mother. “

Obama is a natural-born US citizen.

Not because he was born in Honolulu Hawaii (even though that is where he was born).
And not because his Mom was married (they supposedly were 6 months prior).
But simply because the 1952 and 1934 statutes tranmitted citizenship through a US citizen mother, even if born overseas.

Game over. Barack’s eligible to be President, with 100% certainty, no matter WHERE he is born.
