I’m certainly familiar w/ FS-240, but simply being born abroad to a foreign father & American mother isn’t sufficient to convey American citizenship.

A few documents have to be submitted. Follow the link. It isn't a difficult process.

I've always thought that whether or not Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, the real point is that supposing it were true that would be a technicality. In the sense that the purpose of the constitutional "natural born citizen" provision was to seek to limit the office of POTUS to patriotic Americans -a set of which Mr. Obama has apparently never been a member.

I note that you are speaking in the present tense. Much of the discussion of Obama's citizenship at birth that I've seen relates to the requirements for birth citizenship under the laws existing on the date of Obama's birth. Which were not the same as those applicable to babies born to American citizens abroad today.
