Obama was born on August 4th, 1961.
Kenya declared independence from the U.K. on December 12th, 1963.
So at the time Obama was born, his father was a British citizen. "Natural Born" status requires that BOTH parents of a "natural born citizen" have to be U.S. Citizens at the time of the person's birth. "Natural Born" status is required to be sworn in as President.
Therefore Obama is disqualified. Which is why Leo Donofrio's case has legs.

I'm not an Obamacrat, I have a copy of the Constitution in my hand, and I've only gotten this far on this thread, and so far, I've seen only Constitutional distinction regarding citizenship I've seen is 1) born in the U.S. or 2) naturalized in the U.S., with the caveat of being subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
So far, I haven't seen a third category in COTUS or law distinguishing something called "natural born" citizen as opposed to simply born in the U.S.

Saying it over and over won't make it true. There is no basis in Law or the COTUS to support your assertion. Or do you have something that you can show us?
