Indeed it does. Assuming overseas birth, to an unwed mother, he would be a "citizen."

Just as he would be if born in the US. But the question of "natural born" then would need to be decided.

But Barry is exactly the sort of person the NBC provision was intended to eliminate. One with "entanglements" in foreign countries. His obvious attachment to his Kenyan relatives, and to some extent to Indonesia as well, make him a dangerous person to have as Commander in Chief of the US military. Ask the Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors who are suffering under his "rules of engagement" which likely owe something to the foreign Muslim influences in his life.

My reply was limited in context to the particular statue I was referring to. And yes, if born in the U.S., he would be a "citizen" and I've no doubt the framers would not have intended him (with a foreign national father) to be considered Commander in Chief eligible (i.e. Not NBC). Your right, the framers were clearly trying to prevent someone with clear foreign influence/entanglements such as Barry, from being the CinC. For obvious reasons I would add. The world is no less a dangerous place now than it was back then. In fact, it's a far more dangerous place! All the more reason to NOT find that someone with a foreign national parent(s) be eligible to lead our country and military.
