Obama’s mother was under 21 when he was born and his father was not a US citizen. That’s why he’s not a natural born citizen.

The US citizenship laws on the books at the time of Obama's birth said that in order to convey US citizenship to a child born of a US citizen and a foreign national, that the US citizen parent had to have lived within the US for a period of ten years, five of those being after the age of 14.

Obama's mother would have had to have been 19 at his birth to confer US citizenship on him, per the law. However, she was 18 at the time of Obama's birth, so couldn't possibly have conveyed US citizenship to him, even if he was born in Honolulu.

First, let me say that I am an ardent supporter of the position that Baraq Hussein 0bama IS NOT qualified to be President.

But I believe that IF the Supreme Court decides to hear this case, they will rule that even though 0bama wouldn't qualify under the laws in place at the time, subsequent laws supersede them and he is qualified. This lets them off the hook.
