While the Constitution does provide that a president must be a natural born citizen, the first Congress of the United States in 1790 passed legislation stating: “The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens of the United States.”

Regardless of where Obama was actually born...

His Mom was born in Kansas and was an American citizen when he was born...

She was a minor when she got pregnant. She wasn’t old enough to pass on citizenship.
