Reply #3: The birthers have BS about that, too

They say that Obama's mom had not lived in the U.S. long enough after age 14 (because she was only 18 at the time and the law required 5 years in the U.S. after age 14) to confer citizenship.

However, that law was intended to apply to Americans who had taken up residence overseas -- not those who were merely visiting another country. The fact that Obama's mother was a U.S. citizen who was, at the time, living in the U.S., makes Obama a citizen even if he was born over the border. But... that point is moot because Obama was born in Hawaii.
