No, not if his father was foreign.
His mother was 18. She did not live sufficient time in the US after the age of 16 (5 years required) to be able to pass citizenship on to a child not born in the USA and not born of a US father.
who would want that unless you're looking to trash your parents....
This is incorrect. Title 8, § 1401 states: "a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years..."
The law states his mom would have to have lived in the US for 5 years (or its outlying possessions) and 2 of those years would have had to have occured after she turned 14.
So...since Hussein's mom LIVED in the US at least 2 years after she was 14 (this is not in question)...and 5 years total...he is a citizen regardless of where he was born...or how old she was (unless she was 15...and not 18).
As to why the birth certificate looks faked? Can't say. He is constitutionally eligible either way...maybe they are afraid of people's reaction to someone being foreign born even if they are a citizen.
Just read the details of the 1986 amendment. Hussein would be under the old 10/5...not the new 5/2. My bad.
