“Infant”is a legal term, meaning under the age of majority.
What’s the background on this East-West cultural exchange program? It sure seems to have gotten a lot of funding from the US government. (maybe some covert CIA involvement?)
Or idiots.
Does anyone really think we are dealing with a brain trust here?
Barack Obama = Stanley’s Stool.
That’s the one. Are we now up to three different spellings of *Madeline*?
Plus, in ‘67 little Barry was considered and infant? He would’ve been 5 or 6. That’s kindergarten/first grade age. I never referred to our kids as infants at that age. My brain is spinning.
Is it a legal term that's still used today? I've heard the term "minor child". I'd think infant would be under the age of 1. What is the age of majority?
As you say, Fred Nerks, Sedgwick is a town north of Wichita with last known population of 1,537. But it is in Harvey County, not Sedgwick County. Wichita is in Sedgwick County. (To compound matters, there is a Wichita County, but it is a couple of hundred miles west of the city of Wichita.)
The most probable cause for this confusion is that whoever filled out the birth certificate put the correct city (Wichita) in the box for the county of birth and the correct county (Sedgwick) in the box for the city of birth. Kind of strange that someone who probably did many of these BCs with the same info would get the city and county flip-flopped.
Also, one might expect "Kansas" or "State of Kansas" to appear in the pre-printed heading at the top of the certificate, but I don't see it there.
I believe that "Wichita, Kansas USA" is listed as Stanley Ann's place of birth on baby Barack's supposed Kenyan BC now in the possession of Inspector Smith.
People don’t misspell their name three different ways by accident. This woman worked for Bank of HI for years. She knew how to spell her name.
People spell their names different ways for specific reasons. What those reasons were I don’t know; but it’s usually to evade detection or use multiple identities or something illegal.
It’s not like having a nick name.
The name got garbled from being translated over a long distance phone call from Kenya to Hawaii.
The different spellings of Madeline/etc are very strange.
The infant thing - it would be useful to see other like documents from that time, from the same office, to see if “infant” was used only for babies or for older children.
Heheh. Maybe?
Innfant is a British term,and was used to refer to all those who had not attained their majority, That is an an :infant “ at law. Amnm infant diod not have the capacity to purchase property for example, under old British law.
The term then came to America. Now all sorts of more creative words are used such as “minor child, emancipated child”, etc, because they were thought to be less confusing to those not initiated to legal terminology.
I like the old British system. Infant= less than 21. Adult= 21 and over. Not at all confusing.
A child can be emancipated when he or she is 16 and movers away from home.So them you get “Emancipated infant” ( ie not old enough to vote, but not dependent on parents).Most people would think that emancipated meant able to vote,..It doesn’t.
I prefer the older system of infant/adult. Less complicated.
The “40 or 50 years” comment was in reference to the Dunham marriage, not Soetoro or Obama.
I think the point is that, if indeed the Dunhams were never married, it would lend credence to the hypothesis that Stanley Ann and Barack Jr.’s supposed marriage was also a sham, common-law at best.
Fred, didn’t you post something recently that indicated that the East-West center at U of H didn’t exist at the time Stanley Ann and Barack Sr. supposedly met there?
AC, you’re mixing up generations. This BC is not for Obama, but for his mother. No Kenya connections at the time of her birth. That came 18 years later.
