...This disqualifies Barry/Barrack II from being President; he’d need —both— parents to be U.S. citizens at the time of his birth and be born on U.S. soil in order to be eligible.

Wouldn't you want to know who he is, before you decide if he's any kind of US citizen or not?

Per the U.S. Constitution, one must be a natural born U.S. citizen in order to be eligible to the presidency.

Article 2 Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution:

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

Natural born citizen defined in Minor vs, Hapersett case :

https://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/minor-v-happersett-is-binding-precedent-as-to-the-constitutional-definition-of-a-natural-born-citizen/

““Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization.

This is apparent from the Constitution itself, for it provides that ‘No person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution shall be eligible to the office of President,’ …

“The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens.

Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that.

At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also.

These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents.

As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.

For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts.

It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens. ”

Both sets of 0’s parents & birth locations fail the test:

Mal X & Val Saruff: U.S. citizen dad, unwed British citizen mom, kid born in Canada (or overseas in Britain or elsewhere).

BHO Sr & SADO: British citizen dad, underage U.S. citizen mom, kid born Kenya (or Canada).
