If you father is NOT a citizen of this country, YOU will not be a citizen of this country.
It's really not all that hard, my fellow FReepers.

Law of Nations;/ Emmerich de Vattel / CHAP. XIX.
Of Our Native Country, and Several Things That Relate to It
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
[snip - § 213/§ 214]
§ 215. Children of citizens born in a foreign country.
It is asked whether the children born of citizens in a foreign country are citizens? The laws have decided this question in several countries, and their regulations must be followed.(59) By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); the place of birth produces no change in this particular, and cannot, of itself, furnish any reason for taking from a child what nature has given him; I say "of itself," for, civil or political laws may, for particular reasons, ordain otherwise. But I suppose that the father has not entirely quitted his country in order to settle elsewhere. If he has fixed his abode in a foreign country, he is become a member of another society, at least as a perpetual inhabitant; and his children will be members of it also.
O made a big deal about his African daddy. Africa was under British rule at the time, so O is a British citizen by birth.
He was later adopted by Barry Soetoro, and Indonesian. That's when Barry left the US and went to Indonesia until he became college age. He came back, supposedly as Indonesian and got a foreign student aid.
Barack Obama, a.k.a. Barry Soetoro, is STILL not a US citizen, much less a natural born one.
Sorry, MamaTexan but you've missed the point.
The Constitution states you must be born in this country to be eligible for the presidency. Simply being a citizen is not enough.
How can you not know this?
No. Barry came back to the US when he was 10. Gave him the opportunity to be mentored by Frank Marshall Davis till he left for college.

I agree. I don’t care where he was born. His father was not an American citizen.
BUMP!
And this fraud needs to be exposed and dragged out of the oval office in handcuffs.
It makes no difference if it was your mom or dad that passed down US citizenship to you at birth.
Moreover, neither parent has to be a US citizen for you to be a citizen at birth; if you were born in the USA.
According to your view of US citizenship a family of US residents could be non US citizens for multiple generations along the male line. That is simply not the case.
It would be helpful to the truther cause if people would allow themselves to be corrected on actual US citizenship law; instead of accusing anyone who seeks to cite actual law of somehow supporting Obama.
Accusations of being an “Obamabot” in 3....2.....1....
Flame away.
