coemgn,
You’re new here, so let me start by pointing out that I am a gun-carrying, meat-eating conservative undocumented border guard…that is so you don’t think I am defending Sen Obama. “The mother must be 19 years old to have a child born a US citizen. At least at the time Obama was born.” Source, please…I believe you’re wrong.
“If Obama had been born a US citizen, if the HI story is correct, he probably lost it when his mother remarried an Indonesian man & took Barry to Indonesia. At that time neither the US nor Indonesia allowed dual citizenship. ”
Regardless of the validity of this statement, Citizenship law is retroactive. That’s why Sen McCain is a natural-born citizen…and I’m not going to look that up for you.
By the way, I stand corrected on my statement that US bases are US soil. The State Dep website pointed out that this is a common misconception.
jessturtle, I just saw your response, and the law certifying citizenship for children born abroad of 2 US parents was retroactively applied to McCain. It was enacted 1 year after he was born.
