Barack Obamas father is a British royal subject (nobody disputes this) therefore Obama was not and is still not qualified per the natural born clause. He could have been born in Hawaii on a stack of constitutions, draped in an American flag, and he still would not be eligible per the clause.

Never determined that your interpretation is the one binding on the courts because no case has ever been heard challenging the Natural Citizen clause. "Citizen at birth" is certainly a more stratight-forward interpretation.

Suprem Court says differently, from Minor v. Happersett:

” according to the court, “it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

I do not need courts to tell me what a natural born citizen is. I have known since I was a child.

The natural born clause was, and always will be, about divided loyalties at birth. Obama, Rubio, Cruz, non are qualified, and no “citizen at birth” is not the same as a natural born citizen.
