This is where Orly comes in to play.

Orly Taitz has been successful at obfuscating the real issue, that Obama's father was never a US citizen, and therefore Obama can not be a Natural Born US Citizen. She has done more to define what the average, uninformed, person considers as a 'birther', and that being someone who believes Obama was not born in Hawaii, than anyone else on the planet. It's classic disinformation.

I disagree. Orly Taitz is not the world’s greatest lawyer, she has been sanctioned too many times and she is terrible at properly serving subpoenas but she truly believes her point of view. And she keeps eligibility in the public arena.
Both the fake birth certificate and the two citizen parent theories have failed to impress judges.

Purpura & Moran v Obama: New Jersey Administrative Law Judge Jeff S. Masin: “No court, federal, state or administrative, has accepted the challengers’ position that Mr. Obama is not a “natural born Citizen” due to the acknowledged fact that his father was born in Kenya and was a British citizen by virtue of the then applicable British Nationality Act. Nor has the fact that Obama had, or may have had, dual citizenship at the time of his birth and thereafter been held to deny him the status of natural born. It is unnecessary to reinvent the wheel here. … The petitioners’ legal position on this issue, however well intentioned, has no merit in law. Thus, accepting for the point of this issue that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, he is a ‘natural born Citizen’ regardless of the status of his father.” April 10, 2012

Attacking a constitutional issue on two fronts is not bad legal strategy.
