So the birth certificate says he’s the son of a foreign student living in the US. Does that no prove Obama is not a “natural born citizen” regardless of being born in the US?

You hit the nail right on the head by asking that question my friend. THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS — HOW DO YOU DEFINE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN BY LAW?
Mant FReepers insist that we go by what they believe the Framers of the constitution understood the term, ‘Natural Born’ to be, which they describes thusly:
1) BORN IN AMERICAN SOIL.
2) BORN OF TWO PARENTS WHO ARE *BOTH* AMERICAN CITIZENS AT THE TIME OF BIRTH.
IF the above definition is correct ( and that is in dispute ), then the Birth Certificate’s release only shows that Obama passed on requirement ( #1 above ).
His father’s citizenship at the time of his birth is now the question.
