Actually, under the law at the time Obama was born in 1961, it wouldn't have mattered if his mother was an American citizen. At that time, under the law, she wasn't old enough to confer her citizenship on him - she was 18, and I believe at that time you had to be 21 to pass citizenship to your child. (And when the law changed, people born previous to that weren't "grandfathered" in, either). Don't know what to believe about the whole issue of where he was born, but I do know that if he wasn't born in the US, it's not so simple (or wasn't at that time) as "his mother was a citizen, therefore he was too).
