I don't think Marco Rubio or Bobby Jindal are either. Come to think of it... neither am I eligible to be President because of the natural born citizenship clause (my mother was born in Canada).

A horrific loss for the entire nation.

Ditto, my mother was still a UK subject when I was born (she didn't take out First Papers until I was six).

Sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose. If it's true of Obama, it's true of others. No NBC = no constitutional Article II eligibility.

Now CJ John Roberts needs to do his *****ing job and get Obozo out of there!

There’s hope for you yet! All is not lost!

“...neither am I eligible to be President because of the natural born citizenship clause (my mother was born in Canada).”

Your mother’s birthplace matters not. It’s a question of her citizenship at the time of your birth, coupled with the place of Your birth.

If your mother was a US citizen when she gave birth to you in the US than you are eligible. (I’m assuming that pop was a US citizen,)

Children of naturalized US citizens, born in the US are constitutionally eligible to become the President.
