Obama, on the other hand, had a mother that was to(sic) young to confer citizenship...” That is so grossly far from the truth that it is embarrassing. There is no age requirement for mothers giving birth in the USA for citizenship.

What we had was an American citizen, giving birth in Hawaii, with a father who was here legally for some years, and who abandoned the mother and baby about the time the baby was born - and you claim the baby received UK citizenship thru the father...not even close.

It was not so much an "age" requirement as a "time of residency" demand.

The law in effect at the time and referred to stated the the mother had to reside for 5 CONSECUTIVE years AFTER the age of 14 years.

Stanley Ann had been traipsing about the globe, and hadn't been resident in the US for any length of time, let alone 5 consecutive years, when Barry showed up.

That doesn't even approach the question regarding the patrilineal nature of citizenship (daddy was a Kenyan on a student visa, therefore NEVER a US citizen of any sort, and therefore unable to confer US citizenship). That by and of itself disqualifies the usurper. He may or may not be a citizen by virtue of his birthplace, but the point is that he CANNOT be considered natural-born because his daddy was a foreign national!

“The law in effect at the time and referred to stated the the mother had to reside for 5 CONSECUTIVE years AFTER the age of 14 years.”

Umm...no. That rule only applied if the child was born overseas. I agree that if Obama was born in Kenya, he doesn’t qualify for squat.

“That doesn’t even approach the question regarding the patrilineal nature of citizenship”...which does NOT exist in US & English law.
