If you don't think Obama is a natural born citizen, is he a regular citizen?
What does his moms age or fathers nationality have to do with anything?
If he's born in the USA (that includes Hawaii btw) he's a citizen.
Oh and did the state of Illinois bicker about this when he was a senator?

The first sentence of "Or a citizen at time of adoption was meant for those alive at that time as many of the founding fathers were not natural born citizens. The issue of native born could apply to Obama as his mother being an American, but law at that time said that she had to be older to confer citizenship upon him. His father makes him a dual citizen, which makes him ineligible to be natural born. Natural born means both parents are American Citizens without being a citizen of another country at the time of their child's birth.
Being born here, but having a parent who is a citizen of another country makes him a NATIVE born American if he was born in Hawaii. That has not been proven because Obama will not release his long form birth certificate, but even if he were born in Hawaii, he cannot be anything but Native born as his father is not an American and he would have allegience to another country because of this.
It is simple. Obama cannot possibly be a natural born citizen.
