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. They simply omitted that part of the plaintiff's argument. Have some integrity, unlike the Hoosier hillbilly appeals court.

Here’s what the Court ruled: “The Plaintiffs in the instant case make a different legal argument based strictly on constitutional interpretation. Specifically, the crux of the Plaintiffs’ argument is that“[c]ontrary to the thinking of most People on the subject, there’s a very clear distinction between a “citizen of the United States” and a “natural born Citizen,” and the difference involves having [two] parents of U.S. citizenship, owing no foreign allegiance.” Appellants’ Brief at 23. With regard to President Barack Obama, the Plaintiffs posit that because his father was a citizen of the United Kingdom, President Obama is constitutionally ineligible to assume the Office of the President.
The basis of the Plaintiffs’ arguments come from such sources as FactCheck.org, The Rocky Mountain News, an eighteenth century treatise by Emmerich de Vattel titled “The Law of Nations,” and various citations to nineteenth century congressional debate.11
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.
