It doesn't matter. The Constitution says:
"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."
Unless Obama was born here or became a citizen before June 21, 1788 (when New Hampshire became the 9th state to ratify and the Constitution came into effect), he would not be legit.

It is possible the author means..Polk was the first President born to US citizen parents after the ratification.
