The trouble with comments like yours is that you don’t have all the facts about Obama’s situation, apparently, and haven’t given us all the facts of your own situation either.

Of course, a child born overseas to a US Citizen can now and could in 1961 derive natural citizenship from the parents, but only when certain statutory conditions are met, which have changed over the years.

In your case, apparently the circumstances were appropriate for citizenship to flow naturally to your children in accordance with the law.

Unfortunately that leaves us nowhere with respect to either the circumstances of Obama’s alleged birth in Kenya, or with respect to the law as it existed at that time.

The fact is that under United States law in effect in 1961, a US citizen parent had to have been a US resident for 10 years, five of which are after the age of 14, in order to citizenship to derive naturally to a child born overseas if the other parent was not a US citizen. Got that?

Since Obama was the child of only ONE US citizen parent, she would have had to have resided continually in the United States for 5 years after the age of 14. Ann Dunham was only 18 when she gave birth, and there fore could not possibly met the legal conditions to permit citizenship to flow naturally to her son.

End of story. Now it is only a matter of determining as a provable fact exactly where Obama was born. There are certainly records proving this. All Philip Berg is asking is that these records be produced.

Did you hear him, however, say that NO that would not be the end of it.

Depending on the facts, he would continue the search for information on adoption and Indonesian citizenship, passport use etc.?

He is not going to quit at a VALID Hawaiian Birth Certificate. There are more conditions to a natural born citizenship, he believes, in this case.

“All Philip Berg is asking is that these records be produced.”

If I were Bush, I’d be sending the Marines in to get those records and bitch slap anyone who got in their way.
