That has already been discussed and the law as you just stated it is the most recent version that Obama is not covered by.

Just so I know why is it so important that we break treaties, congress has ratified, and we have signed in regards to international law just so that Obama can be our next president?

It isn't. What is important that we stay true to the ideals of the Constitution. What kind of precedent would it set to honor a treaty that violates the Constitution. That would just turn into a backdoor method to amend it. A scary proposition.

The citizenship conferred under the 14th amendment is very settled law. Like it or not children born on US soil are natural born citizens. There is a method to change it but it hasn't been done yet.

Obama's situation is not anywhere near as important as every man's situation. You can't declare Obama has lost his citizenship without declaring a lot of other American citizens have lost theirs as well. Their rights are more important than the political expedience of preventing Obama from being president.
