I believe he was born in Kenya.

Does Hussein meet any of these conditions?

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code, Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"

Anyone born inside the United States

Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe

Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.

Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national

Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year

Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21

Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)

That one was changed in the mid 1980s. When Obama was born, it was 10 years, and 5 of those had to be after the age of 14. Now it's 5 years with 2 over the age of 14.

Some of the other criteria have also changed since '61. But if Obama was born in Kenya, or any other country than the US, his mother could not transfer citizenship by birth to him, because she was only 18, and barely that, so had not lived in the US for 5 years after age 14.

OTOH, if he was born in Hawaii, he is a natural born citizen.
