To those of you who are saying that a natural born citizen must have both parents born in the US... This is WRONG.
Only one parent has to have been born in the US.
I will prove it.

The 14th amendment defines citizen ship as: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Now that is a bit vague.... Let's take a look at Title 8 of the U.S. Code. Specifically section 1401.

Particularly this:
(d) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has
been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such
person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States;
In simple terms, only one of his parents must be a citizen of the United States and has to have lived in the US for at least a total of one year
before the birth of the child.... His mom was born and raised in the US....
Obama is a natural born citizen.
Sorry birthers. :/
