-Born to foreign citizen in the US (Anchor baby).
These are all the accepted definitions that have yet to be challenged in the SCOTUS. Obama is eligible regardless of if he was born in Hawaii or Kenya, his mother is a US Citizen and thus he is a Natural Born US Citizen. It would be the same as if your mother was a US Citizen (irrelevant if your father was or wasn't), went on vacation and gave birth to you in a foreign country. Make sense?
