".....Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent,....."

This was inacted in 1986 and the key word here is PROVIDED. Baracks parents were not military,employed with the U.S. Government, or an Internatioal Organization defined in section 288. It does not say this is retroactive either.

Barack fits into the law that was in place in 1961. Citizen parent has to have been a U.S. citizen 10yrs. 5 before the age of 16 and 5 after the age 16. Baracks mother gave birth at 18yrs so she did not meet the 5 yrs after the age of 16.

Now all this only applies if he was born in Kenya or outside the U.S. and since they are furnishing a phony birth certificate it makes one wonder what he is hiding.

This summarizes the different requirements, as they changed over the years for children board abroad to be considered citizens.

http://www.pengweber.com/citizenship/citizenbybirth.html

“Between 12/24/1952 and 11/13/1986:

If one parent is a U.S. citizen, the U.S. citizen parent must have resided in the U.S. for 10 years, at least 5 of which were after age 14.”

IF Obama was indeed born abroad, he couldn’t be a citizen based on these rules, because Obama’s Mother doesn’t meet that criteria, since she was only 18, when Obama was born, that would be only 4 years spent in the US after age 14.
