Coadie can show you the actual laws at the time. I think he already posted about it on this thread. Perhaps he can point us back to it.
1. Because mom was a certain age; she could not pass on American citizenship to a child born outside the country.
2. EVEN if Obama was born in Hawaii; he is not a
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN as the Constitution requires because his father was a British citizen with an allegiance to another country. The founding fathers were grandfathered from this requirement as none of them would have otherwise qualified.
3. By the time this was ready for the Supreme Court to address it was probably too hot a potato for them to want to handle.
4. Nevertheless, things just got more interesting with the military changing Major Stefan's orders rather than expecting Obama to prove his qualification to be president in court. Looks like a great get out of war card which someone else is likely to attempt again in the future.
