Constitutional scholars on the Right and Left agree that he was born a U.S. citizen. Both Ted Olson (former Solicitor General) and Harvard’s Lawrence Tribe have studied the case and agree at the very least that he is a citizen by birth.

Are you sure you want to cite Olson and Tribe here? Because the arguments they use in support of McCain being a "natural born citizen" also hold that if Obama were born in Hawaii, he would also be a "natural born citizen" regardless of the citizenship of his parents.

So what do you want to do here? Do you want to concede that if Obama was born in Hawaii that he's a natural born citizen, or would you care to question Olson's and Tribe's arguments with regard to McCain? Can't have it both ways.
