At first I thought MarAzul and Trump's argument about "Natural Born" was nonsense.
But after looking into it, there's an actual legit constitutional question.

There's barfo wannabe constitutional scholar, and there's Lawrence Tribe. I go with Tribe's interpretation.
I agree with this take.
Here is a copy of the message I sent to Trump in 2011.
To:
Donald Trump,
Congratulation! The Birth certificate proved Obama was born in Hawaii. It also proves he is not a Natural Born Citizen
and therefore not fully qualified as required in the Constitution, for the office of President of these United States.
From the Law of Nations
"Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority,
they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country,
of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens,
those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this,
in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society,
reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children;
and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion,
they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country,
it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner,
it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country."
God speed with the next step.
Regards,
MarAzul
You can read this paragraph for yourself in the Law of Nations Book 2.
I suspect that Obama is exactly what this requirement in the Constitution was intended to derail. I often doubt he sees himself as United States citizen.
