No.

Regardless of where his mother was born, if Obama was born outside the U.S., and if his father was not a citizen, and if his mother did not meet the age and residency requirements (which she apparently did not), then he would NOT have automatic citizenship.

And if he’s not a natural-born citizen, he’s not eligible to be President, per the Constitution.

From http://immigration.findlaw.com/immigration/immigration-citizenship-naturalization/immigration-citizenship-naturalization-did-you-know(1).html :

January 13, 1941 to December 23, 1952
“If only one parent was a U.S. citizen, that parent must have lived in the United States for at least ten years prior to your birth, and at least five of those years must have been after your parent reached the age of 16.”

Assuming that the arcane schemes you are citing would pass constitutional muster today (not likely), those schemes are not relevant to stopping Obamamessiahman unless a lot of conditions are met.

1. What proof have you that Hussein was born outside of US jurisdiction? That burden of proof would fall on anyone challenging his qualifications. "We think his birth certificate looks funny" is not going to stop him, particularly if the actual birth certificate is on file, appropriately date stamped and signed and a public record in Hawaii (an American territory or more likely a state when he was born).

2. Even if Hussein were born abroad (and concededly his father was a Kenyan national), his mother appears to have been a native of Kansas who was born and brought up there and later went world hopping (Peace Corps???) as a liberal without renouncing her citizenship. Is this not so? If it is so, then there is no argument and he qualifies.

3. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that we have a way to block him as one not born a natural citizen of the US, ought we not wait until he has been nominated to spring the trap???

Too bad Obama was born in 1961.
