when you only have one parent who is a US citizen then that parent must meet a time criteria, living in the US for so many years after a certain age, I believe it is 14 or 16 years of age, if they do not meet that criteria and the child is born outside of the US they are not natural born US citizens,or any type of US citizen, period. Obama's mother didn't meet that criteria

What are you talking about? I thought Obama's mother was born in the U.S. and lived here until he was born. No?

Try reading what I wrote. Obama only had one US citizen parent, his mother,his father was NOT a US citizen. In order for her children to be born US citizens when born out of the country, according to the law then in effect,and it is essentially the same now, she had to be resident in this country 10 years from the age of 16(or it might have been 14), she gave birth to Obama at age 18, therefore she did not meet the criteria of having her child born a US citizen if he was born out of the country. Therefore, if he was born in Kenya he is NOT a US citizen, Natural or otherwise.
