∙ 15y agoBarack Obama is a US citizen by birth and is over thirty-five years of age-these are the only two requirements to be eligible for election. Claims that he is not a US citizen have been conclusively proven false.

∙ 12y agoNo, he is a "natural born citizen". He was born in the United States, specifically Hawaii, as his birth certificate clearly shows. A naturalized citizen is a person not born a U.S. citizen, but who later became one. A person cannot become President of the U.S. unless they are a natural born citizen:
Section 1 of Article Two of the US Constitution gives the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States:
"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.
The Congressional Research Service has stated that "the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term [natural born citizen] means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to US citizenship 'at birth' or 'by birth' which includes any child born 'in' the United States, even to alien parents (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements."
