“DONOFRIO IS SAYING OBAMA CANNOT BE A “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN,” BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS A BRITISH CITIZEN AT THE TIME OF OBAMA’S BIRTH.”

That is patently ridiculous. Where the parents were born matter not. If a person is born in the United States, he is a natural born American citizen.

The question is exactly where Obama was born. If he was born in Kenya or Indonesia, he is not a natural born citizen of the US, and ineligible to be POTUS.

If he was born in Hawaii, he is.

What about a child born abroad to two American parents who register his birth immediately at the American Embassy in that country. How would this affect children born to American citizens working or studying abroad?

It is certainly not "patently ridiculous", the issue of a non-citizen parent has legitimacy in the history of the laws regarding "natural born" citizenship. See for example post 373.

Cincinna, you said:

So, if Hitler’s parents were vacationing in the US while Mom was pregnant and little Adolph happened to be born in the US, he could serve as our President?
