That is the law as it is written today, not as it was written in 1961.

Okay, lets make this simple. The law at § 1405. Persons born in Hawaii is IN EFFECT AS PRESENTLY STATED BEFORE O'Bama's birth.

Says this:

A person born in Hawaii on or after August 12, 1898, and before April 30, 1900, is declared to be a citizen of the United States as of April 30, 1900. A person born in Hawaii on or after April 30, 1900, is a citizen of the United States at birth. A person who was a citizen of the Republic of Hawaii on August 12, 1898, is declared to be a citizen of the United States as of April 30, 1900.

There are no ifs, and or buts in the above law.

That is the law as it is written today, not as it was written in 1961.

When was the law that was in effect in 1961 adopted?
