How does being born in Kenya, equate to any US Citizenship?

James Orengo, the country’s minister of lands and a member of parliament for the Ugenya constituency, cited America’s election of a Kenyan-born president as an example of what can be accomplished when diverse peoples unite:

“If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America?

It could relate to statutory citizenship at birth. But that's naturalized citizenship, since naturalization is the only power Congress has over citizenship.

However under the statutes then in existance, BO's mother did not have sufficient residency in the US to pass on citizenship, unless she was not married. If she was legally married to BHO Sr, then Jr was not a citizen at birth. If she wasn't, then he was a naturalized citizen at birth, if born in Kenya.

If born in the US he's a native but not Natural Born, citizen.
