Native Born is NOT good enough for constitutional eligibility, or have you never taken the time to read up on this subject?

No I have NOT read up on it. But if you are born in the USof A you are entitled to citizenship. Last I looked, Hawaii was a state in ‘61.

Just citizenship is not sufficient according to the wording the founders put in the Constitution. ... But something tells me that you already knew that and you’re just itching to assert ‘prove it’ for us.

Then just understand that you're stepping into an ongoing conversation with a lot of people who've advanced their educations in this subject over the last two years, and who've spent countless hours debating it.

if you are born in the USof A you are entitled to citizenship.

Yes, you are, but what kind of citizenship you'll hold is determined by factors peculiar to your birth. There are different classes of citizenship in this country.

Last I looked, Hawaii was a state in ‘61.

It sure was, but until Obama proves that he was born there, it's a moot point, and has little bearing on this conversation, except in the hypothetical.

Even if it turns out that he was born there, he would only be qualified under our laws for simple US Citizenship - not Natural Born Citizenship. There is a difference.

Mere citizenship is not the Constitutional requiremnt for President.

Natural Born Citizenship is ....Born in the country to 2 citizen parents..... sorry, Obama is not eligible....

What public (government) school did you attend?

Then he is at the VERY least a dual-citizen because Barack himself stating having British Citizenship at birth. End of story. Like I said it doesn’t matter where he was born — Britain’s rules of citizenship make him theirs no matter where he is born (birth certificate or not, btw...).
