Political Pistachio has long been telling you that whether or not Obama was born in Hawaii was not the key to his eligibility. The definition of Natural Born Citizen is actually concerning if both parents were citizens at the time of the birth of the individual. What this means is that when Obama produced his birth certificate (of which some evidence has emerged that it might be a forgery) it actually confirmed his ineligibility.
But for those who could care less about original intent, or the founder's definition of Natural Born Citizen, I submit to you the United States Supreme Court's opinion on the subject:
Back in 1875, the United States Supreme Court, in Minor v, Happersett, ruled that:
“Natural Born Citizen” was defined as children born of two U.S. citizens – regardless of the location of the birth. It found: “The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also.”
