If there was a marriage, it was an illegal one. Obama's dad was married to another woman in Kenya at the time, so if he married Ann Dunham, he would have been committing bigamy, which is a crime in the U.S.

There are rumours that Obama Sr. and Ann went to Kenya to get married, because having two wives at the same time was legal there.

Maybe that is why Obama's mouthpiece over at Snopes recently made this odd change to their entry dealing with Obama's Natural Born status:

"Although his mother was herself a natural-born U.S. citizen, his father was a Kenyan national, and his parents may or may not have been legally married in the eyes of U.S. law. Moreover, his parents split up when he was but a toddler, and his mother soon afterwards married another foreign national and moved with Barack to Indonesia."

Hmmmm.

As a Kenyan, Obama’s father (if he was his father) may have been a British citizen/subject. In which case, British law said that a child born anywhere in the world to a British subject was British.

So if Obama was a Brit by descent from his father (somewhere it is claimed that Obama said in his book he was a citizen of Kenya for some years-—how did he end that citizenship, if so?), does that affect his status as a “natural born citizen”? IOW, not only was his father not an American, his father’s country affirmatively made his child a Brit.

Huh?

There’s enough here for the SCOTUS to weigh in on. Especially given that NO ONE has either the responsibility or competence to vouchsafe this constitutional requirement otherwise.
