He was either a British subject and/or a Kenyan national, so there’s no way he could confer ‘natural born citizenship’ to his son, regardless of where Barack was born...which has never been conclusively established.

He didn't need to confer anything to his son other than his own flawed genes. Zero was born a citizen and is therefore natural born. That's all it means — citizen by birth, as opposed to naturalization.

So give it up unless you like looking like a jackass. You aren't going to prevail with this ridiculous argument — and even if you did, Obama's neighbor Billy Ayers would still be eligible, de Vattel be damned!

You have no idea what you are talking about. Natural Born Citizenship is the highest subset of a citizen.

Easy turbo. The phrase ‘natural born citizen’ is subject to far greater analysis based on the historical/legal interpretation of the phrase (jus soli & jus sanguinis) and the Court has yet to weigh in on the eligibility of any president or veep, so while you may have a pet definition of what a natural born citizen is, it’s not settled law.
