I don't buy that argument, either. His place of birth is important. If he were born in Hawaii, he's a natural-born U.S. citizen. In the United States, citizenship is by location, not blood.

Native born is geographic. Natural born is allegiance based and can be based upon blood line as child of citizens no matter location of birth.

In the United States, citizenship is by location, not blood. Actually, US citizenship laws recognize citizenship arising both by location of birth and by blood. A child born to two illegals in LA is a natural-born citizen, as is a child born to an American citizen living overseas (with some restrictions to both methods of acquiring citizenship, of course).
