I think it goes something like this: ANY citizen can get a passport....natural born or not. It is ONLY a requirement for POTUS that he be natural born.

I believe the last time he traveled abroad he had a diplomatic passport. The rules for getting one of these are different from the rules for getting an ordinary passport. Before that there is some speculation that he traveled on a foreign passport, which might be true or it might not. (Does the FOIA apply to passport applications?!)

Also he could have proof that he is a naturalized citizen, even if he is not a natural born citizen under the meaning of the Constitution.

Simple answer: you don't have to be born in the USA to have a US passport. All citizens, even naturalized ones (like my wife) can get a US Passport. Also I believe there are special rules for Senators, diplomatic passports, etc. What passport did he travel to Indonesia on as a child. Another fact we've been denied knowing.
