As I read th end of this piece, Obama would qualify as a natural born citizen. His mother was a citizen and, although his father was a non-citizen, he did reside for a time in the US. Or am I reading it wrong?

No. Obama’s father did NOT reside in the United States.

To reside, one must have a residence. Obama’s father was just on a student visa which does not qualify him for residency.

Cheers

Even Obama admits his father was only on a student visa.

This is from Obama's book, "Dreams from My Father," page 126, paragraph 2:

"But your grandfather Hussein was still writing to your father, threatening to have his student visa revoked."

Cheers

you are reading it wrong. the 'reside' provision pertains to fathers that are US citizens out of the country
