And on Obama’s 2008 campaign website ‘Fight The Smears’, it stated:
‘The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America.’
It never stated he was a ‘Natural Born Citizen’.

They have been very careful to never assert that he is a “natural born citizen”
They have cultivated an impression of eligibility without any supporting facts. It’s quite a snowjob.
Only a native born citizen can be a natural born citizen. Most, but not all, native born citizens are natural born citizens. Any native born citizen of any age can move out of the country and denaturalize. Only the Executive Branch can denaturalize a citizen. The Executive Branch maintains a policy that a person who is not 6 months past the age of majority, currently the age of majority is 18 years old, may move back to the U.S and rescind the Oath of Renunciation. If the Oath of Renunciation is not rescinded, then natural born citizenship status is lost forever.
Some individuals who have been issued Certificate of Loss of Nationality and are older than 6 months past the age of majority have successfully sued the U.S. in U.S. Federal Court to have the Certificate of Loss of Nationality rescinded because of fraud. If the Court opines a person should have the Certificate of Loss of Nationality rescinded, the Executive Branch may concur or ignore the Court’s opinion because the Executive Branch stands on an equal footing as the Judicial Branch. The Executive Branch is the final authority on U.S citizenship status.
