An unfortunate thing I realized a while back:
Obama could have been born on the moon and still been allowed to be President. Why?
To be president you have to be a citizen. One of the ways you can do that is for one of your parents to be a citizen. Obamas mother was a citizen. Thus, he is allowed to ne president.
Sad.
I humbly suggest the law says otherwise.
If Obama was born in Hawaii, there would be no question regarding his citizenship. However, if Obama was in fact born in Kenya, he would not be a U.S. Citizen even though his mother was. When only one of a child's parents is a U.S. Citizen, a foreign born child is not a U.S. Citizen unless the citizen-parent meets very specific legal requirements. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, Section 301 (a)(7) shows the relevant citizenship laws in effect at the time of Barack Obama's birth:
“A person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and is 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 persons
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 paragraph” (Emphasis my own).
According to the cited law, if Barack was born in Kenya he would not be a U.S. citizen unless prior to his birth his mother lived in the United states for at least five years following her fourteenth birthday. This means his mother had to be at least nineteen years old prior to his birth to make her son a U.S. citizen.
However, The record shows that Ann Dunham was born on November 29, 1942 and Barack was born on August 4, 1961, several months prior to his mother's nineteenth birthday. Therefore, if Obama was born in Kenya, he is not a U.S. citizen and is ineligible to be president.
You can Google this information or you can buy a book that I believe everyone should read. The above information can be found in the book
Wheres' the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not eligible to be President, by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., p. 55.
Edited to add: If Obama would have been a U.S. Citizen regardless of where he was born, there never would have been a debate over his place of birth. The reason why many people are trying to prove Obama was born in Kenya is that they know the applicable law and a Kenyan birth would make him unqualified to be President.
