Best Answers

Although his mother was herself a natural-born U.S. citizen, his father was a Kenyan national, and his parents may or may not have been legally married in the eyes of U.S. law. read more

As this condition was true for Ms. Dunham (who had, at that time, resided at all times since her birth in 1942 in various parts of the United States), Barack Obama Jr. would have acquired US citizenship by descent from his unmarried citizen mother, even if he had been born outside the United States. read more

Not because he was born in Honolulu, which records submitted by Mr. Obama through long and short-form birth certificates and the assessment of Hawaii officials verify. But even if he were born in Kenya (which I don't believe to be the case) the president still would have been a U.S. citizen at birth, because his mother was an American, a fact which nobody to this date denies. read more

Barack Obama's father was not an immigrant to the US. He was in the US on a student visa and was a British/Kenyan citizen. He never had "legal resident" status and he never applied for US citizenship. Even if Obama was born in Hawaii, he isn't a "natural born citizen" and isn't a Constitutionally legal President. read more
