I think Obama's eligibility was found to based on being born in Hawaii, citizenship of parents isn't a relevant factor when a person is born on US soil.

Citizenship is not the issue...

It's ELEGIBILITY to become President or VP of the USA.

If you read the constitution, it’s clearly stated there. No mention of other countries.

0bama’s eligibility was based on his mothers citizenship only. I don’t think other considerations were a factor. For that matter, I’m not sure Hawaii was even a state at that time. I could be wrong on that but I didn’t think so. Regardless, 0bama’s mother dictated his citizenship.

Being born in Hawaii (if he was) would satisfy 14th amendment citizenship IF the parents wanted or intended for him to be a US Citizen, such as a diplomat is stationed in USA and his kid happens to be born in USA he does not become a citizen automatically.

Also the mother, was supposedly under age, and this also affects the natural born citizen analysis

It is complicated. I have read the whole schpiel.

Bottom line is even if Bambi was born in Hawaii, he may well be a USA citizen but NOT a “Natural Born Citizen”.
