Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.)

Being 18 at the time of O'Bomber's birth, his mother could not have conferred automatic natural citizenship on O'Bomber...no matter what calculus is used...unless you are a user of the New Math being taught in US public schools...and 14+5=18...to you.

"For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.)"

Amazing how quickly the "Birther's" embraced a forged document. Even Karl Rove said it was a fake.
    What do the Birther's expect to accomplish with this movement?
The forged birth certificate, released early on Sunday morning, was quickly picked apart by a growing online community of freelance “birther” debunkers. And many politicians including J. McCain have said it is fake. It was marked as an official February 1964 document from the “Coast Province” of the “Republic of Kenya.” But there was no “Coast Province” in 1964, and Kenya was not yet a Republic. It was off by one year on the age of Barack Obama, Sr. It was signed by “E.F. Lavender,” which happened to be the name of a popular soap in Kenya, and “entered at the District Registry Office” on August 5, 1961, a Saturday when the office would have been closed. Late Monday evening, TWI reported that the certificate had significant similarities to an unrelated Australian birth certificate, which may have been the source of the forgery.
    Kenya officials have shaken their heads at ludicrous Americans who listen to such nonsense.

Oh, nice try Node but this Kenyan birth certificate is the subject of a federal lawsuit.

A fact you would have known if you had bothered to read the accompanying article.

I know that's hard for O'Bomber Kool-Aid drinking "deniers" to do. After all, those in denial about O'Bomber have a lot invested in O'Bomber Kool-Aid.

However, you failed to even speak to the legal aspects of the section of the US Code dealing with citizenship.

Now Node, put you mind in gear and tell me how O'Bomber's mother, who was 18 when O'Bomber was born, managed to spend 5 years in the US...AFTER SHE TURNED 14...but before O'Bomber was born.

Let's see...
14+1=15
15+1=16
16+1=17
17+1=18
18+1=19

you seem to have missed the point, jwhop. the document is questionable at best, so how long she was in the states really isn't the issue. until the so-called birth certificate is verified there is no evidence that obama was actually born in kenya.

to me it looks very much like an AMERICAN, not English, birth certificate. and kenya was an ENGLISH province until it became a republic. the national language of kenya is NOT english. so it smells just like kippers to me!

PLUS there is a challenge as to whether their marriage was legally binding in which case by ENGLISH law the father has no standing legally whatsoever!

Just throwing this in the mix

WASHINGTON – California attorney Orly Taitz, who has filed a number of lawsuits demanding proof of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president, has released a copy of what purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth and has filed a new motion in U.S. District Court for its authentication.


This document purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth for Barack Obama, allegedly born in Mombasa, Kenya, in 1961

the one jwhop put in the other thread


One of the issues Taitz must deal with will be the authentication of the document. Critics immediately jumped on the Feb. 17, 1964, date for the document, explaining that the "republic" of Kenya wasn't assembled until in December of that year.

Media Matters wrote, "Sorry, WorldNetDaily: Kenya wasn't a republic until Dec. 1964."

But Kenya's official independence was in 1963, and any number of labels could have been applied to government documents during that time period.

At Ameriborn Constitution News, the researcher noted that the independence process for the nation actually started taking as early as 1957, when there were the first direct elections for Africans to the Legislative Council.

"Kenya became an Independent Republic, December 12, 1963, which gives more [credibility] that this is a true document," the website stated.

The 1963 independence is corroborated by several other information sources

I won`t second guess his agenda but if, in fact, he is right, it`s a horse of a different color, yes?

One nice thing about the USA is the right to seek/speak/publish. Or call it that freedom of speech thingy

How do you propose his intent could create a military coup?

his client is in the military. he is saying he doesn't have to follow obama's command because obama is a foreigner. watch the dominoes fall...the way people are taking accusations as judgments it might not even need to be correct.

i don't need to know his agenda to see the possible outcome. i am not saying this WILL happen, but the logical conclusion to setting up obama's lack of technical citizenship is that NO ONE in the armed forces need consider him the boss. hopefully most of the armed forces are not as gullible the people who believe this muck just because someone says so!

i wonder what will happen if it is? and how it can be definitively proven? do you think any of the people who are pushing so hard against this guy really want what will come next?

internet pictures are easily photoshopped and forged. that is why you can't use ONLINE id as proof of anything.

i guess we will have to wait and see. but the more people keep at it the more the lynch mobs rumble. instead of trying to make him out to be a martian or the new hitler wouldn't it be better if people used the system they say they're so dedicated to to change things? this is just a vendetta and THAT is what i don't like.

by the way, did no one else notice that the "signatures" on this document (apart from the signing officer) are TYPED NAMES - kind of like online signatures, which are typed in rather than signed.

in case anyone has forgotten, a signature is a HANDWRITTEN thing, unique to the signer. looks to me like this thing was typed over by someone who is used to being online rather than doing things in person, like they were back then, and especially in kenya! in any case it is highly suspicious in terms of authentification.

maybe that is because this is a copy?

in any case, as jwhop has often pointed out, it is up to the prosecution/accuser to PROVE their claim. all defense has to do is present enough doubt to make it unprovable...

but tell me, why if they wanted to pretend he was born in hawaii, to ensure his american citizenship status, would they register him in kenya? and does anyone here know HOW FEW KENYAN CHILDREN WERE BORN IN HOSPITALS in those days? in the bush was more likely! or at the least in the home with grandma attending.

i had a nurse-midwife in england who spent her childbearing years in kenya and even she, a nurse and a white englishwoman, had her kids outside of a hospital. this was not a very "advanced" society at the time!!

WND didn't address the numerous other suspect attributes of the document. I would think that they'd seek a comparison birth certificate that resembles this questionable one to reference.

If Capricorn Karl Rove and Virgo John McCain are opining that it's fake, I'm betting that they're on to something.

Apparently, there are some who cannot do the simple math...and apply the law as it applied to US citizenship.

Instead, they call that a "technicality" and want to talk about "something else".

Let me help those out who cannot do the simple math. The citizenship law said it was necessary for a US citizen parent to have lived in the US 5 years after the age of 14...to confer automatic US citizenship on their child. O'Bomber's mother was 18 when he was born.

Gee, I don't know what to make of this.

It keeps coming out the same way. O'Bomber's mother would have had to be 19 when O'Bomber was born to confer automatic US citizenship on O'Bomber...not 18.

Let's see...
14+1=15
15+1=16
16+1=17
17+1=18
18+1=19

Perhaps the same people who consider this a mere "technicality" also think it's a mere "technicality" that Arnold doesn't meet the "natural born' US citizenship requirements...and can't be President....or Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho, Castro, Chavez or Ortega.

yes but you are talking from the standpoint that he was actually born in africa. and everyone else here is saying this paper looks like a bogus attempt to prove that.

innocent till proven guilty, jwhop. no one has authenticated this SUPPOSED kenyan certificate. Under US law the burden of proof rests with the accuser.

even if he WAS born there, just because someone is travelling doesn't mean they have emigrated. talk about grasping at straws!

Any lawsuit by any "birther" ends with Hawaiian official verifying the authenticity of his Hawaiian birth certificate. The game's already over.
