Assuming Barry's father really was Obama Sr., Barry was born a subject to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England, inheriting his foreign father's foreign citizenship by birthright.
Then, when Kenyan gained it's independence, Barry obtained Kenyan citizenship at age ~2.
He possibly even had Indonesian citizenship if his step father Lolo Soetoro adopted him.
Forget dual citizen...Barry was/is a multi-national. He never was a "natural born Citizen."
Question is, do enough people care in the present day that Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution is currently being completely ignored? Where are all the "Constitutionalists?"

"Army Col. Lawrence Sellin, a Green Beret, fired after griping online about PowerPoint
WASHINGTON - All Army Col. Lawrence Sellin wanted to do was be a real warrior killing Taliban, not a PowerPoint Ranger killing time in Afghanistan's rear echelon.
After the Green Beret with a Ph.D. piped up about it in an online column, he got sacked from Afghan war boss Gen. David Petraeus' staff - and catapulted into cult status as a military folk hero.
"I had added no value to the war effort," the Special Forces officer and native of Saddle Brook, N.J., lamented after getting booted out of Afghanistan.
Sellin's critique of a top-heavy military bureaucracy in Afghanistan adds another chapter to the never-ending debate on how to fight America's longest war, just as Bob Woodward's new book, "Obama's Wars," chronicles the policy struggles in Washington.
Sellin, who did combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, was sent packing three months into his job as chief of current operations for NATO's International Joint Command in Kabul's airport.
He was ordered home after penning a snarky poke at PowerPoint briefings for "cognitively-challenged generals" running NATO's "bloated" command, where "you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a colonel."
While that might have been career suicide for the Army Reservist, he unexpectedly became a hero in the ranks for standing up to bureaucratic inertia - which he fears will cost G.I.s' lives.
Sellin told the Daily News the upper echelons are overly concerned with font sizes and bullet points in a bureaucratic stalemate that will "likely prolong the war effort and create more casualties."
"Failures at that command level can have serious consequences for the ordinary soldier," Sellin said.
"It subtracts from the effort and prolongs the war by consuming resources which could be applied more effectively elsewhere."
A NATO spokesman, Col. Hans Bush, has said Sellin didn't have the "situational awareness" of the war to critique it.
Sellin apparently had enough situational awareness as chief of current operation to be tasked with briefing an embedded News reporter on the war in Kabul last month before he was fired.
After his ouster, his inbox was jammed with hundreds of messages from disgruntled troops.
They have cheered his hilariously impertinent UPI column (read it here) attacking time wasted on briefings.
Staff officers wage war by "endless tinkering with PowerPoint slides to conform with the idiosyncrasies of cognitively-challenged generals in order to spoon-feed them information," Sellin opined.
"If more people would come to the realization that we are spinning our wheels in Afghanistan with endless briefings ... we would bring our troops home," said a command sergeant major, agreeing with hundreds of supporters, from private to general, who e-mailed the colonel.
"We sit hours in meetings (but) never actually do anything," groused one officer. Another G.I. called pointless PowerPoints "slide-ology."
Sellin said the troops are loyal - but frustrated.
"Frankly, I don't like to be out of the fight," he mused from Finland, where he's a defense contracting executive.
"I would go back to Afghanistan in a heartbeat - if they would just give me something productive to do."

The office of President of the United States has been vacant since noon on January 20, 2009. Action should have been taken under the 25th Amendment to appoint an Acting President, but no such action has been forthcoming. Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama continues to illegally usurp the powers of the office.
Who is going to deal with it? Impeachment is out of the question. The military can’t/won’t step in. The courts can’t/won’t step in. The doj absolutely won’t step in. Where does that leave us? 1 7 7 6.
Afghanistan’s center of gravity (Colonel Lawrence Sellin, PHD, Afghan Vet)
They are up in Washington doing the new GOP dance. ‘The Cave Man”. Slim Whitman is working on the lyrics and melody.
IMHO...
The military’s true job is to destroy our enemies then come home, not to occupy and rebuild. If America had a legitimate interest in waging war, so it is. War. The consequences are what the nation that attacked us has to deal with. We collect what we can as payment for our troubles, then leave them to their own devices. Afghan would not have lasted more than a few months if that policy was adhered to. It’s not productive to pile decades of debt on a defeated enemy.
This policy then creates a national “learning process” for the nation that attacked us and others who would consider it. It may take a few wars, but it would be learned if administered correctly, to the point where we would have a fair amount of safety.
(By “attacked us” I mean was imminently going to attack us as well, if that was the case, as no nation is under any obligation to take the first punch if they see it coming).
Our present war with islam which we have not yet joined should be declared, and all enemy combatants deported. That would make America infinitely safer than she is now.
The real problem I have with nobama is that he is a self-declared hater of America - in essence, an enemy of America is CIC. You can’t get a worse problem - even if he was legitimately elected and eligible (which, of course, is rather unlikely). Of course, anyone who believes that the Constitution needs to be upheld would be upset if he was a great American leader but was ineligible. But it sure would be easier to stomach that what we have now.
I think plenty of people still care. The frustration level is extremely high regarding efforts by the White House, DOJ, Congress, USSC, DNC, Hawaii DOH, and media to thwart efforts to determine the truth. Rest assured, though, we who care about the Constitution are still on board.

.
And Congress watches from a distance without any interest in the matter.
At this point, we’re down to the presidential candidates. Congress, SCOTUS will not touch it. And, the second any presidential candidate raised the question, s/he would be declared unserious, a fringe candidate, and totally unelectable.
You forgot “X”, or maybe it was Shabazz by then.
Where are the officers above the level of colonel?
Unfortunately, a day late and a dollar short.
The time to check Premier Obama’s bona fides was BEFORE the election.
No one was interested.
Thx for the ping
Amen. Not to mention that our sons and daughters would not be needlessly killed over there. Prayers for those who have paid with their lives for this lost cause.
Just glanced up at the tv and it’s showing that old movie, Lion of the Desert. That’s what I call takin’ care of business.
