In order for him to have been a citizen at birth (IF he was born outside the country), she had to have resided in the US for 5 years after the age of 16.


Is this a new rule?   What is its purpose?


I'm not getting much clarification on this "rule".  

Where are all the legal scholars when you need them?

I have no idea when his mother went to Kenya, but she was only 18 when he was born. In order for him to have been a citizen at birth (IF he was born outside the country), she had to have resided in the US for 5 years after the age of 16.


I've thought this over a little more and I thinnk it now makes perfect sense.   A pregnant teen-ager expecting her first child would naturally travel to a British Colony in the third world with poor medical facilities and jeopardize her offsping's health and American citizenship rather than stay in Hawaii with her family and good medical care.

A pregnant unmarried teenager (?). Anyone ever consider that is why the records have not been released?

She was three months pregnant when she married.   That record is available so I think your speculation is just that speculation.

 

Now for the 5 year rule?
