This article brings up the question of whether Obama's Mama Stanley was old enough to qualify to confer citizenship on her child. She does not appear to have been, by the explicit criteria in the stated law. His place of birth is irrelevant.

The law can blather on as it wants. But the 14th Amendment trumps the law. If he was born in the US, he's a natural born citizen. Case closed. The citizenship of his parents doesn't matter. For example, Bobby Jindal's parents were grad students from India studying in Baton Rouge when he was born. And he's on McCain's list of possible VPs.

Does the 14th Amendment trump Article II of the constitution?
