[quote=Anonymous]Even if Obama was born in Kenya

"In a number of situations, if you were born to parents, at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, you automatically gained U.S. citizenship through the process of acquisition. It does not matter whether you were born on American soil or foreign. As well, if you have children, those children will also acquire U.S. citizenship through you at their birth.

The laws regarding citizenship obtained through acquisition are some of the most complex of all of U.S. citizenship laws and take into account things like the citizenship of parents, as well as if the child was born in or outside of wedlock. This complexity has not lessened at all because Congress has made major changes to these laws throughout history. In order to determine which laws will apply to you or your child, you must first see which date range applies:

Born prior to May 24, 1934
    Born between May 25, 1934 and January 12, 1941
    Born between January 13, 1941 and December 23, 1952
    Born between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, and
    Born after November 14, 1986.:"[/quote]
