You are smart not to post too much. You do not have to be a "natural born citizen. You just need to be a citizen!!!

Do you see the word OR? typical right wingers always half a bubble off.

No person except a natural born citizen, OR a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

There's a pretty big word in their that takes the steam out of their argument, I've put in all caps to bring it to attention. That little word, OR, is pretty big in this phrase. The first part of the statement clearly says "No person except a natural born citizen, OR a citizen of the United States. Just to clear it up a little more later in the section it clarifies what the citizen part means when it states "... and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."

So right there, Barack Obama is eligible to be President.
