1. Big league politics is blood sport. Obama's policies are designed to destroy the United States. Therefore, if his birth certificate illustrates he isn't eligible for office, I'm all in favor of ejecting him from the game on that ground. FYI, as a lawyer, I can say the game isn't over. Now that we appear to have established he was born here, that doesn't mean he's a natural born citizen. The law at the time, as I've read in some of the journals, states that his mother had to be 21 in order to confer citizenship on him. His father as a dual national couldn't do it. I believe he was a dual national of Kenya and the UK.
The dual citizenship expired. Or did you miss that?
The Supreme Court ruled on dual citizenship... or did you miss that?
The only ages mentioned in relation to the mother goes into effect if the child is born outside the country... which obviously Obama was not, he was born in Hawaii.
But, in case you did miss that... and I think you did...
Under certain conditions, children born outside the US may have US citizenship by birth. This depends on whether one or both parents have US citizenship, how long (if at all) the American parent(s) lived in the US prior to the child's birth, and whether the parents were married to each other or not. The rules have changed several times during the 20th century (mostly in a more liberal direction), so the exact date of one's birth can also be important when determining a claim to citizenship by descent.
Under the current law, if both parents are US citizens and are married, then the child is a US citizen if either parent had a "residence" in the US at any time in his or her life prior to the child's birth. There is no specific minimum period of time in the law for how long a parent must have been in the US in order for his/her status to be accepted as having been "residence" in the US.
If one parent is a US citizen, and the other is not, and the parents are married, then the current law says the child is a US citizen if the American parent was physically present in the US for one or more periods of time totalling at least five years, at some time or times in his or her life prior to (but not necessarily immediately prior to) the child's birth. Additionally, at least two years out the required five years of physical presence must have taken place after the parent's 14th birthday; thus, for example, a parent who was born and grew up in the US, but who left before reaching age 16 and never returned, doesn't meet the requirement.
Prior to 14 November 1986, the physical presence requirement in this case was ten years (instead of five) -- including five years (instead of two) spent after the parent's 14th birthday. The requirement was reduced in 1986, but the change did not retroactively make US citizenship available to people born previously who did not meet the old requirement. (Congress's intent not to make this change retroactive was affirmed in 1988 with the passage of Public Law 100-525, § 8(d), 102 Stat. 2619).
