>Lolo Soetoro was an Indonesian citizen.<

Thank you. I was unsure. So the bottom line is no matter where he was born, he is not a Natural Born Citizen. He could have been born on the white house lawn and it wouldn’t matter.

So if his true father was Sotoro or Obama he does not meet the constitutional requirement as a Natural Born Citizen, perhaps Native Born, But Not Natural Born.

Technically, the Supreme Court told us in Minor v. Happersett and affirmed in U.S. v Wong Kim Ark that native means the same as natural born in that the parents still need to be citizens. By that defintion Obama is not 'native-born' any more than he would be natural born ... which is all moot since he has no legal proof of his place of birth.

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.
