“Natural born citizen” does not necessarily have to do with geography. If one of your parents in an American citizen, you are also a citizen at birth even if mom happens to be traveling in Timbuktu when she delivers you. The birth record that American consular officials bestow on such children is called “Report of American Citizen Born Abroad.” It is clear that such people are citizens from birth. That's why this Obama birth certificate affair is such a waste of time. His mom was an American. So is he. Case closed.
This is a loser, a distraction that diverts us from scrutinizing the disastrous social (Free Choice Act)and economic—no drilling, Kyoto carbon limits, punitive taxes on the productive and handouts to layabout supporters. That is where our energy should be focused.
