The problem with that rationale is so were George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams.

The problem really is that you and probably most of the American people are clueless about what the Constitution says.

"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."

I have checked it out. This issue is dead. There is no evidence that he wasn’t born in Hawaii, thus a citizen if the US, which would make him natural born. But I guess everyone has the right to waste their time in any they so choose.

It appears that Obama is a natural born citizen, according to the definitions you provide above. He was born to a woman who was born in the U.S.
