The reason for the consular report is to show an official record of claim to citizenship, not to initiate some process to gain citizenship. This avoids potentially any legal questions over citizenship or not.

Note there is no time limit other than child's age of 18 YEARS.
If you are going to cite US law/policy, then at least offer a reference, link and/or quote to back your claim.
You seem to have found the citation reasonably well on your own and without my help. Good on you. I suppose that you and I read that citation differently.
You will note that I never claimed that Barry wasn't a U.S. citizen. I merely called shenanigans, which I will continue to maintain.
Claiming that any questioning of the veracity of a group of people who, by their nature, revel in secret plots and covert operations dilutes credibility is somewhat akin to saying that any opinions varying from the established doctrine are illegitimate. Where there are legitimate questions, it's reasonable to request legitimate answers. When the answers to even dodgy questions are cloaked in misdirection and fabrication, (admittedly, perhaps in order to fuel the conspiracy theory and thereby discredit the questioners) it leads to further speculation.
Not everything is a plot, but then again, not everything isn't.
ETA: In reading through the remainder of the thread, I note that your sanctimony is growing. And you think espousing conspiracy theories dilutes credibility? Derogatory statements and the hurling about of insults does you no favors, and the use of the term "reasonable" in this political climate, and with the abuse that word has undergone, marks you in ways I do not think you want.
