Is Obama Still The President Of America? - New US citizen receives letter signed by Barack Obama

It's customary for new U.S. citizens to receive a letter signed by the president welcoming them as Americans, but typically that letter comes from the current U.S. president.

Not so for the husband of Aisha Sultan, a syndicated columnist at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Her husband, who is referred to in the letter only as "My fellow American," received a signed letter Friday not from President Trump, but from his predecessor, Barack Obama.

"My British-born husband takes his oath of citizenship today. In the packet for new Americans, the welcome letter from POTUS is from Obama," she tweeted.

Consequently, USCIS press secretary Gillian Christensen has called the mistake an administrative oversight.
