The court makes an errant argument that place of birth by itself establishes natural born citizenship, but failed to acknowledge that in the previous section that the Plaintiffs challenged Obama's place of birth, not just his father's citizenship.

For the reasons stated below, we hold that the Plaintiffs’ arguments fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and that therefore the trial court did not err in dismissing the Plaintiffs’ complaint.”—Indiana Court of Appeals
I continue to see the logic in the verdict of the original Indiana trial court and I side with the unanimous decision of the three judge panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals which was upheld by the Indiana Supreme Court and which was not been further appealed to the federal courts.
Unless and until some other Court in some jurisdiction rules otherwise, you do not need two American born parents to qualify as a natural born citizen as long as you yourself were born in the United States.
