I’m not going into all the details here, because it’s been discussed in great length on other threads, but Stanley Ann Dunham wasn’t old enough to confer citizenship on the child, according to laws in effect in 1961.

Regardless of that, according to his own life story, Obama was at best a dual citizen.

That law only pertains to a child born outside of the US and the state of Hawaii says that Obama was born at 7:24 pm on Friday, August 4, 1961 in Honolulu. His birth was registered with the state on August 8, 1961.
No court of law has been presented with credible evidence to counter what the state of Hawaii’s records show.

US Citizenship Through birth abroad to one United States citizen
For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:

1. One of the person’s parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born
2. The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child’s birth;
3. A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent’s 14th birthday.

If it could be proven that Obama was not born in the United States, point three above would disqualify him because his mother had not lived 5 years in the US after the age of 14 before his birth, since Stanley Ann Dunham was 18 years old when Barack was born. She would have had to be 19.
