With regard to the natural born citizen status of Barack Obama, 72 courts (including 8 attempts at the Supreme Court) have thus far ajudicated lawsuits on that issue and zero courts have ruled him to be ineligible.
There is no law on the books that spells out precisely who shall be considered a “natural born citizen.” The closest the current law of the land comes is in spelling out who shall be a “born citizen.” Whether there is a difference in the law between a born citizen and a natural born citizen is yet to be determined.
