Obama either was or was not a citizen at birth. If he was not a citizen at birth, then not only is he not eligible to serve as president, he's not a citizen at all!

The truth is, we don't know if he's a citizen. The truth is, the above statement is only your opinion.

You can bet that this dilemma is going to be the fodder for many law review articles.

If you read the information from the framers and from the people who implemented the 14th amendment..I don’t believe John Mccain would have been eligible either...which is what Donofrio is saying in his case.

I don’t think Obama was born in Hawaii..but even if he was..his father was a British citizen..and there is information out there that would indicate that the framers did not want that type of person running as President.

I didn't state an opinion above as to Obama's citizenship.

Actually, I'm quite sure he was born in Honolulu, and therefore is in fact a natural born citizen. But, if he was actually born in Kenya, then he wouldn't be a citizen at all, his mother not having lived in the US for five years after the age of 14. There's no third option, unless someone turns up a record of his having been naturalized.
