Even if he was born in Kenya...

Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother: A child born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 301(g) INA, as made applicable by Section 309(c) INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the child's birth, and if the mother had previously been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year.

Is that right.

And qualify as a natural born citizen under
Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution,
eligible to be president of the USA ?

This link you provided says nothing about ‘natural born’ citizen. That is what the whole argument is about. Obama does not qualify for POTUS because he is not a ‘natural born citizen’. Besides, Obama was not born out of wedlock.

"A bastard child may ACQUIRE CITIZENSHIP..."

That's what that passage says.

My son "acquired" U.S. citizenship via naturalization, but that doesn't mean he is eligible to become President.
The issue here is not about "acquiring" citizenship, it's about being a "natural-born citizen" and thus being eligible to become President.

Please only post relevant materials.
