Its a question of Natural Born citizen, as spelled out in the constitution. Its not a question of whether he is a citizen.

The constitution is amazingly detailed in its definition.

I understand but........

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

But the website refers to him as an illegal alien.

There are only three requirements listed. While the age and residency requirements are pretty clear-cut, the term "natural born" is left to other sources to define.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
