Summary of the facts:

Obama’s mother born November 1942
Obama born in Kenya per his Harvard bio August 1961, makes mother 18yo at the time
Hawaii becomes state 1959, if he was born a few years earlier the rules would have been different, as in McCain’s case.

I thought I read somewhere that a foreign born child needed only one parent (18+) to be a citizen of the United States. And if that parent was only a citizen of a American territory, that parent needed to be 21+.

Don’t quote me on that tho.

outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or
periods totaling not less than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable
service in the Armed Forces of the United States by such citizen parent may
be included in computing the physical presence requirements of this paragra
