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.
Obama's mother fails that time restriction if his birth date is accurate. Snopes says it is accurate, right?

Quote:Stanley Ann Dunham was born on November 29, 1942,
Quote:On August 4, 1961, at the age of 18, Dunham gave birth to her first child, Barack Obama II. Friends in Washington State recall her visiting with her new baby in 1961. By January 1962, she had enrolled at the University of Washington, and was living as a single mother in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle with her son while her husband continued his studies in Hawaii.

This is following along with the theory that Obama’s parents weren’t married at the time of his birth. The rules you posted are for married parents when 1 parent isn’t a citizen and the child is born out of the US . The rules for an unwed mother are different and listed lower on the same page.
Quote:Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother: A child born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 301(g) INA, as made applicable by Section 309(c) INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the child's birth, and if the mother had previously been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year.
