Obama admitted on his own website that his father being a foreign national from Kenya made him a British subject, thus NOT a natural born citizen, regardless of where he was born.
One cannot be anything else AND be a natural born citizen.

His own web site, and his own book.

The most compelling case I’ve read (years ago) was that he was born in Vancouver, Can. You can google it. Of course they had no idea 50+ years ago that he would overthrow the US govt and become potus. I’d bet $200K he was NOT born in Hawaii.

“One cannot be anything else AND be a natural born citizen.”

You are dead right but unfortunately there are members of FR who still think that Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen and many have argued in the past that Obama is a natural born citizen. A lot of people just THINK they know that almost anyone is a natural born citizen of the USA. At 72 I clearly remember when the term natural born was applied to many things other than qualifying for the presidency. I had classmates who were natural born artists, natural born baseball players etc. Now that the term is almost never heard except in reference to the presidency very few people know the actual meaning but that does not stop them from claiming to know. Some actually seem to think that citizen and natural born citizen are the same thing. There are few subjects which seem to bring out more confusion and ignorance.

Technically your statement could be called incorrect even though we both know your meaning. A person can be many other things and still be a natural born citizen of the USA but none of those other things can have anything to do with being a citizen of any other country.
