That's nice.
Where does the original birth certificate say he was born?
Since by law, Hawaii will issue a brand new BC to an adopted child showing his adoptive parents as his natural parents, and in the case of foreign born children issue a HAWAIIAN birth certificate, the question of what the original says is still very much in play.
Exactly!
Most people think its where your born that makes you natural-born, but it doesn't.
It's the nationality of your parents that does.
"Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."
Senator Jacob Howard, co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.

The offspring of a naturalized citizen IS a natural-born citizen, but the child of a foreign national is not.
BO's father was African, his stepfather [who formally adopted him] was from Indonesia, and BO spent several years there.
Indonesia doesn't recognize dual citizenship, and the US at the time didn't recognize dual citizenship with Indonesia.
Rather a pretty little pickle, huh?
