Not so fast, WOSG. His father had rights over him, as did Great Britain. He was a British subject at birth. No natural born there — but that’s what the Supreme Court needs to rule on.

Keep in mind that there are the following types of citizens: - natural born - native born - naturalized John McCain is not native born, but he is natural born. Obama is native born but not natural born, at least according to one interpretation of the laws -- and there are no laws that define natural born citizen. One is forced to take a stand on its meaning and then let the Supreme Court rule whether that meaning is constitutional or not. That's what we're trying to do. But the cases so far haven't been quite the right cases, or presented in quite the right way, to get the Court to take a look at the issue. Not yet, that is. This brief ought to bring some cheer to those on the same side of this issue as Donofrio: http://wthrockmorton.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/joyce_anderson-amicus-final.pdf Excellent!
