If born in Hawaii to a non-citizen and a citizen who had not lived in the U.S. for five years after her 16th birthday he is not a natural born citizen.

He fails the constitutional test independent of birthplace; the math is not lawful, two is not five.

Al Sharpton once called him magic, but he can't surmount this bar.

I believe that your scenario applies ONLY to a US parent when it is an overseas birth. I’m 95% certain that is the case.

Yes he is. Title 8 > Chapter 12 > Subchapter III > Part I > § 1401 of the U.S. code says he is. The law you quote would only apply if Obama had not been born in the U.S.

You are wrong.

If he was born in America, he is a natural born citizen, even if his parents were illegal aliens that crawled across the border and whelped in the desert. (Not that it should be like that, but it is.)

"If born in Hawaii..."

I'm sorry but the law to which you refer is intended to describe the natural-born status requirements for someone born outside the US. If BO was in fact born in Hawaii he is a US citizen...period! His mother could be a peruvian chicken and his dad a red tractor!
