If one is born to US citizen parents outside the US, and the parents do whatever is required to get the kid US citizenship, he's probably a natural born citizen It depends on the statute at the time of the birth, which has changed over time. What change in statute? Are you saying there was a time when US citizen parents had a baby in England, and the baby was not granted US citizenship? Overseas US embassy staffers, overseas US military, overseas US business people, all wouldn't be too happy with such a law. Hence the problem with Obama being born to an 18 year old that was not in-country for five years prior to birth. His mother was overseas for 5 years prior to his birth? I didn't know that. I'm not so knowledgeable about the Obama birth thing, I'm more interested in what constitutes a natural born citizen. I was overseas for 8 years prior to my son's birth, and I think (but aint sure) that he is a natural born citizen. The question will likey be decided when he runs for President....
