He is not a NBC even if he was born in Hawaii.

Exactly.

There are three "types" of citizens listed in The Constitution, and subsequent Amendments:

Some wish to make the argument that since (or if) Obama was born in Hawaii, he satisfies the Constitutional requirement.

But...the XIV Amendment makes a "person born" citizen, and a "naturalized" citizen equal in every aspect, so it follows then that if being born on US soil translates into being a natural born citizen, then a naturalized citizen can be President.

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine; In memoria æterna erit justus, ab auditione mala non timebit.

Beauseant!

Yep, What if bin Laden came over here, married an American goat, er I mean woman, after she gave birth he takes the kid back to his cave and raises him as a mooselimb, to hate America, teach him how to undermine our system and then send him back to the US.

The kid runs for and then wins the Presidency and begins to systematically destroy the Country.

Absurd? No, Obama is essentially the same thing, this is why the NBC clause is in the Constitution, just for this type scenario.
