I haven't picked a candidate yet, but I would 100% have defended Obama's qualifications under the same circumstances as long as his mother met the requirements. As I understand it, she was 19 when Obama was born, so she may not have met the after age 14 five year residency requirement. But if she did, no doubt Obama would be a natural born citizen no matter where in the world he was born.
"A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child's birth to transmit U.S. citizenship."

So where is the goal post going to moved to next as this will certainly not satisfy the birther contingent.
