For the last 230 years Natural born citizenship required that both parents be American citizens. It is not based on place of birth. Until such time as there is a Constitutional amendment to change the meaning of Natural born, obama is not the President. if obama was born in Kenya(99 % chance) he is a Kenyan national as his mother was too young to convey citizenship in 1961. if he was born in Hawaii(1%chance) he would be a native born citizen,still not eligible to be the President. Regardless ,of how you look at it obama IS NOT the President of the United States.

This is not true. The law has required that one parent be a citizen. You are correct about Anne Dunham and the law in 1961. She was not old enough to convey citizenship if he was born outside the U.S.. However, if he was born here then she was old enough to convey citizenship. That was the law in 1961. This is why people want to know where he was born.
