> The first hurdle will be having Obama produce his birth certificate,

> According to a legal researcher who has contacted the AFP, U.S. law

> Barack Obama’s father was never a U.S. citizen.

> Interestingly, there isn’t much paperwork on the marriage of Obama’s

> Mendell writes: ‘Obama later confessed that he never searched for the

> Obama’s mother was born in Kansas and was only 18 when Obama was

> 18. His mother would have needed to have been 16 + 5 = 21 years old at

> Technically, Obama should have been naturalized as a citizen, but
