The Wong Kim Ark ruling confirmed children born here of permanently domiciled parents are citizens.

Since Obama's father was never permanently domiciled in the United States, was always in the country on a temporary basis, and his "Application to Extend Time of Temporary Stay" is public, WKA does not apply to BHO II.

I actually think that IF both of Obama's parents had been in that situation, here on temporary student visas, then there would be at least some argument in favor of that.

But with one of his parents an American citizen? Not a chance.

I think there’s a good chance.

Based on what? There is no U.S. law that states that a child born in the U.S. to one U.S. citizen parent is even a citizen, let alone a natural born citizen.

The problem Obama has is that any claim to U.S. citizenship he thinks he has is clouded by his non-citizen father's temporary stay status in the U.S.

The U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark ruling doesn't apply to him. Neither does the 14th Amendment as he and the DNC have already admitted that the British Nationality Act of 1948 governed (exact quote) his citizenship status at birth.
