The fact that Obama's mother was a citizen doesn't really matter, she wrote. "At the time of his birth, Obama's mother was not old enough to confer her American citizenship to her newborn son had he been born abroad." She cites a 1952 law that required a U.S. citizen married to an alien to have been physically present in the United States for 10 years, including five after reaching the age of 14, to transmit citizenship to foreign-born children. Obama's mother was 18 when he was born.
