Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 as it stood in 1961, 0bama wold NOT be a natural born citizen if born abroad because neither of his parents could confer that status.
Actually he would not be a citizen at all, unless later naturalized. That's all the law deals with, citizenship acquired at birth, not "natural born citizenship".
