There’s no doubt his mother was a citizen .....so does it even matter where he was born?

If you don't get this yet, you never will.

Because to be eligible for Prez you must be a "natural born" citizen.

Yes, it is not that simple, if he was born in Kenya to an American woman and a Kenyan man he is not a native born citizen. The Constitution says only native born citizens may serve as President, this is why the Terminator cannot run for the office.

"There's no doubt his mother was a citizen, so does it even matter where he was born?"

Yes it does matter. There were/are laws governing this. It depends on which year you were born.

Obama was born in 1961 and the below was the law covering that year.

4. December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986
If, at the time of your birth, both your parents were U.S. citizens and at least one had a prior residence in the United States, you automatically acquired U.S. citizenship with no conditions for retaining it.

If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16. There are no conditions placed on retaining this type of citizenship. If your one U.S. citizen parent is your father and you were born outside of marriage, the same rules apply if your father legally legitimated you before your 21st birthday and you were unmarried at the time. If legitimation occurred after November 14, 1986, your father must have established paternity prior to your 18th birthday, either by acknowledgment or by court order, and must have stated in writing that he would support you financially until your 18th birthday.

If by chance Barack Obama's mother gave birth to him in Kenya she did not meet the 5 year residency in the U.S. after the age of 16 because she was 18 when she gave birth.
