Donofrio is contending that Zero was born in Hawaii (he is not trying to prove that wrong, just accepting that is true). His argument is that he is not a Natural Born citizen due to his father being Kenyan. Kenya was a British colony at that time, and British law conferred citizenship through the father, which would make Zero a British citizen. And in Zero's book and on his web site, he states himself that he was born a British citizen. So even IF he was born in Hawaii, he was still a British citizen at birth, which makes him ineligible.

That is Donofrio's case. It seems to be a pretty good argument.

“That is Donofrio’s case. It seems to be a pretty good argument.”

Would making this case involve viewing his birth certificate, though? Because I think that would probably clarify the issue instantly, without need for complex argument.

I am not a lawyer but I don’t see it as a good argument at all. Someone born in the US to an American mother is certainly a natural born citizen, regardless of who the father was. Even if he was born in the US to two foreign national parents, he would be a natural born citizen, just as Éamon de Valera.
