not a state at that time
For a very brief period of time - between Alaska's statehood on January 3, 1959 to Hawaii's statehood on August 21, 1959 - there were 49 states, so there were 49 stars on the US flag. Hawaii was the 50th state to join the Union. It was a territory of the United States since 1898. Prior to that, it had been a sovereign nation. Territories of the United States do not have a star on the U.S. flag.
Yes, President Obama was born in Hawaii which is not part of the North American continent but at the time of his birth was a state.
