Yes, the whole marriage angle was convoluted and suspicious. There are a number of arguments which can be made about the nature of the alleged Muslim marriage ceremony on Maui and the issue of the Kenyan spouse under tribal laws. The whole marriage issue is a moot point with respect to the citizenship, because the Hawaiian divorce proceedings decided parental status and child custody under Hawaiian law. The Hawaiian court decision may be rebuttable in a court of law, but has of course not occurred. In any event, hawaiian law and U.S. law nonetheless determined the child’s citizenship upon the father the Hawaiian divorce court acknowledged.
Even if no father had ever been established ofr Dunham’s child, any U.S. citizenship acquired would have been acquired by operation of law and not by nature as required to be a natural born citizen.
Quite a few courts and state elections boards have ruled that Obama qualifies as a natural born citizen. No court or election board has ruled that he does not qualify.

For example: Allen v. Obama, Arizona Superior Court Judge Richard E. Gordon: “Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”—Pima County Superior Court, Tuscon, Arizona, March 7, 2012
Tisdale v. Obama, Judge John A. Gibney, Jr.: “It is well settled that those born within the United States are natural born citizens.”— Tisdale v. Obama, US District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia, January 23, 2012.
