It seems like everybody is missing the author’s main point: ONLY the people living at the time the Constitution was adopted could hold dual american/british citizenship and run for president. After that generation, american-only born citizens are the only ones who can become presidents, therefore excluding B. Hussein Obama!

And you base this claim on what exactly?

Can you prove he isn’t a citizen though? I’ve seen a lot of speculation but i’ve never seen anything approaching proof from the bloggers.

If what you mean by "American-only born citizens" excludes dual national born individuals (American and some other nationality at birth) from the presidency, you accept Mr. Donfrio's interpretation of the "Natural Born Citizen" clause. But there is no known legal precedent for that interpretation.

Thus the place of Obama's birth might well be the dispositive issue.
