To be a Constitutionally qualified natural born citizen, both parents must be natural born citizens, of the USA. I think that means if your father is Kenyan born, that disqualifies you.
Both parents must be American citizens, not necessarily natural born citizens. However, the parents natural born citizenship did not automatically transfer citizenship to a child at the time BO/BS was born. Federal law required the parent be physically present in the U.S. for at least 10 years with five of those years after the age of fourteen. This means a parent must have been at least 19 years of age. BO's/Bs's mother was only 18 at the time he was born.

Not true. a citizen if born in the USA, but to be a “natural born citizen” he would have to be born to 2 US citizens.
