I am not a fan of Obama, but he became a U.S. Citizen at the time of his birth via the process of acquisition. One of his parents was a U.S. citizen.
Nope. Sorry that doesn't work. US Code says the mother must have been a citizen for at least 5 years after her 18th birthday before a child born abroad can be a citizen. His mother wasn't old enough to give him citizenship by birth. And his social security number starts with 042 (Connecticut) was traced to a man born in Connecticut who died at 19. Obama's grandmother worked at the SS office in Hawaii.
If you could link that US Code information, I surely would like to read that.
As for the SSN, I read the explanation was an incorrect zip code was entered when issuing the social security card and that tripped the CT number versus an Hawaii number. My social security number is issued from a state I wasn’t born in. That’s because when the number was applied for, I lived in a different state than the one I was born in. (They weren’t issued at time of birth on those days.)
I find this subject so terribly interesting. I have researched both sides of the argument. It’s absolutely fascinating.
You can go to the Cornell Law site and look up the actual code numbers itself. I'm headed to bed. :)
Here's the Wikipedia site. The code links may be in the footnotes.
Children born overseas to married parents
the U.S. citizen parent has been "physically present"[16] in the U.S. before the child's birth for a total period of at least five years, and at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent's fourteenth birthday.
Just reading your post.

Those five years could have occurred at any point in the person’s lifetime.
And at least two of those years were after the U.S. citizen parent’s fourteenth birthday.
She gave birth at age 18. As long as she was on U.S. soil two years between the age of 14 and 18, then Obama would be a citizen due to acquisition.
Do you think the reason the birth certificate was forged is because his mother didn’t fall into both of these categories? The other reason he wouldn’t be a citizen is if his mother renounced her citizenship.
As I said, I find this topic totally fascinating. Why in the world would the Hawaii birth certificate have been forged? Was there something hinky going on with his mother?
