I’ve heard so many contradictory things on this. If I remember correctly the age limit does not apply to women born American, only naturalized ones. And, I’ve heard (despite lots of comments to the contrary) that the boundaries of the territorial US only counts if both parents were not US citizens. The key is “natural born” vs. “naturalized”. As much as a liberal as she was, Obama’s mama was born as a US citizen and both of her parents were US citizens. She was single when she gave birth to Barry and he is a natural born US citizen no matter who the father was or where she popped him out as far as I can tell. What’s interesting to me in this whole debate is WHY he won’t disclose his long-form Birth Certificate, his college grades & papers, etc. etc. etc. He’s certainly hiding something, but citizenship ain’t it. At least as far as I can tell.

When this first came up two years ago, the text and the link to the actual immigration and naturalization law (which was in effect at the time of Zero's birth) was posted here.

I wish I had it now, but what it said, is that, if a mother is an American citizen, and gives birth to a baby whose father is a foreign citizen, while outside the boundaries of the territorial US, then the mother must be past the age of 14, plus 5 years for her to be able to confer US citizenship on that child.

This is one HUGE reason that it's vital for Obama's LFBC to be released. Stanley Ann Dunham was just short of her 19th birthday when Zero was born. If she gave birth to him outside the territorial US, then he's not even a US citizen, much less, a Natural Born Citizen.
