There's no guessing required. His father was a foreigner, therefore he does not meet the standard of Natural Born Citizen.
The Founding Fathers were wise enough to include the NBC restriction for the office of President in the Constitution, but they probably never foresaw that failing to define it beyond a shadow of doubt would leave the door wide open for a future usurper like Obama.

General George Washington, our first President, served only two terms. All other Presidents after him followed his example. It was only when FDR decided to pursue the office past the "customary" two terms that a Constitutional amendment was introduced regarding a two-term limit for POTUS. There had been an honor system before, now there had to be a law.
I don't believe the Founding Fathers could conceive of a nation where people who had taken the trouble to come here would start families without having first become citizens. At a time when it took at least six weeks to travel here by ship, anyone who reached these shores didn't do so lightly. I believe that the Founders thought of the new nation as having a definite starting point with all as citizens (at the time of the adoption of the new Constitution) and any succeeding generations would be children of citizens born on the soil of the country, that is, natural born citizens.
Our modern advances in travel and communications have made going to and from a country seem rather whimsical by comparison.
So now the honor system is broken. (Recent evidence suggests Chester Arthur broke it first.)
