But the British Nationality Act of 1948 that governed the status of Obama Sr’s children did at the time, therefore Obama was British 1st and American 2nd.

Maybe to the British, but in terms U.S. law, that doesn't matter at all.

The concept of natural born citizen exists outside of U.S. law. It is not defined by laws nor the Constitution, but the definition, as recognized by the Supreme Court, would invalidate any claim Obama has to being a natural born citizen because British law creates an incompatible condition.

When ... the US laws of 1961 when Obama was born, or the US laws of 1787 when the Constitution was written?

Only one would be accepted by the SCOTUS in a ruling, and it would NOT be the laws of 1961.

You say not, but you offer no proof. I challenge you to show us the law from 1961 or treaty signed by the US & the Brits that allowed the US to ignore British laws. In 1961, children born “IN” wedlock took the citizenship of the father. This was International law aka Law of Nations that was recognized globally at the time.
