I don’t think so, to be natural born he needs two parents who are citizens at the time of his birth, at least that was the original meaning of the term. Now, of course, we have millions who don’t have any real idea who their father is. The matter of British and or Indonesian citizenship also comes into play, it seems to be established that he traveled to Pakistan at a time when he could not have gone on an American passport. If all the rules were followed (a big if) I don’t think he could qualify even with a Hawaiin birth certificate.

According to the Naturalization Act of 1790, a person could be born to two US citizens overseas and be considered a "natural born citizen". For a person born in the US, all it takes is one parent who is a US citizen.

That's incorrect. The original meaning of the term came from the English common law, which requires only birth in the territory, regardless of the citizenship of one's parents. I previously cited James Madison, and I would like to think he was aware of its original meaning.
