1. A "natural born" citizen is any person born of US citizen parents (that's two) in the U. S. mainland (includes Alaska and Hawaii)-- think Ronald Reagan -- in this case, there is no foreign entanglementvia parentage ANDthere is no foreign entanglement viabirthplace.
2. A citizen "by statute" is any person born of US citizenparent(s) outside the UnitedStates -- think John McCain -- in this case, there is no foreign entanglement via parentage BUT there is a foreign entanglement viabirthplace (Colon, Panama).
3. A "native born" citizen,is any person born in the United States mainland -- think Barack Obama-- in this case, there is no foreign entanglement viabirthplace (if he was born in Hawaii) BUT there is aforeign entanglement via his parentage (if Obama Sr. is his father).
4. If you're not born here, or if your parents aren't Americans, thenthe only way you get citizenship is via marriage or naturalization -- a"naturalized" citizen is a citizen as the result of these processes -- thinkArnold Schwarzenegger

| ...is not a "natural born" citizen because his father was a Kenyan national and a British subject, as was Obama, "atbirth." The Obama Campaigndescribes BarackObama Sr. as, "a British subject whose citizenship status was governedby The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed thestatus of Obama Sr.‘s children." ...is a "native-born,"14th Amendment citizenbecause his mother was an American and he was born in Hawaii. TheObama Campaign describesBarack Obama as a "native-born citizen" on it's website. ...isa "citizen" because his mother was an American and he was born in Hawaii-- assuming he was born in Hawaii. If Obama was not born inHawaii, all bets are off. See: Right there on Obama's own website, where it says, "The Truth About Barack's Birth Certificate"-- "The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in1961, a "native citizen of the UnitedStates of America." |

If one Link of chain is broken, the whole chain breaks the contact.
And you never even mentioned his Indonesian citizenship.
(Also "U. S. mainland" should be U.S. Territories = property under the jurisdiction of the U.S.)
