There is no constitutional requirement that a person be born in a hospital.

No, there isn't.

BO, however, claimed to have been born in a hospital.

Two of them, depending on when he was quoted.

But that has no bearing on his constitutional eligibility. Only whether he was born in the United States, is age 35 or over and has 14 years residence in the US matters to any judge or Supreme Court justice that might hear a case.
And no, where his father was born has no constitutional relevance either. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that one’s parents must be citizens in order to be natural born, no law has ever been passed that codifies that, and no Supreme Court decision has ever ruled that a president’s parents have any bearing on the president’s status as a natural born citizen.
