Hawaii was not a state in 1957, so, had his mother not been a US citizen, his qualification would be extremely dubious.

However, the point is that his mother was a US citizen, therefore, it does not matter if he was born on the moon. He was automatically naturalized at birth by his mother's citizenship, and that makes him a "natural born citizen," as the Constitution requires.

What is really intriguing is that given his mother's legal standing, he still refuses to produce a birth certificate. Why? He has no reason to hide it. It doesn't matter if he was born in Hawaii or anywhere else. The probable reason is that his birth certificate says that his name is "Barry Dunham," not "Barack 0bama," or that the birth certificate says that his father is "unknown." Either way he would be exposed as the fraud we've known him to be all along.

But still, unfortunately, Constitutionally eligible.

Someone who has been 'naturalized' cannot possibly be native born. Besides it's not true anyway that a person born of an American Citizen parent, is automatically a citizen, regardless of where born. If born outside the US, to one alien and one citizen, the citizen parent must meet certain residency requirements, which were 10 years total and 5 after the 14th birthday, which Stanly Ann did not meet, in August of 1961, or at any earlier time. If OTOH, she was not married, she only need to have been a citizen and resided in the US for one year. However either way, that's "naturalized at birht", under statute law passed under Congress power to define a uniform rule of naturalization, therefore, he would not under those conditions be eligible to the office of President, again if born overseas. Only if born in Hawaii, and illegitimate and with no father claimed on the BC, could he then claim "natural born" status.
