I think he is probably qualified to be President, at least from the citizenship perspective.

I don't agree. Even if he's born in Hawaii, he's still not eligible to be conferred citizenship by his child-mother. And his supposed father was a British subject.

Soldier on, Birthers!

Being called a "Birther" still carries a flavor of insult with it. (none taken) Best to leave the term for those who choose to use it for self identification.

The Courts have not agreed with that position in more than 70 attempts including 8 at the US Supreme Court:
“Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by [the Supreme Court of the United States in their 1898 decision in the case of U.S. v.] Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States natural-born citizens.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, “Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels,” Nov. 12, 2009
