What about Article II, Setion 1, this part:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

Does "at the time of the adoption of this Constitution' go right along with 'or a citizen of the United States' and only applied 200+ years ago? That bolded part might be why he mentioned that he was a citizen of the United States last night in his speech....

In other words, Obama wasn’t born then!

“..... at the time of the adoption of this Constitution”
