From a page on http://www.usconstitution.net that discusses what makes up a
natural born citizen:

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401
defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States
at birth:"

* Anyone born inside the United States
* Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen
of  the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
* Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are
citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
* Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and
lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S.
national
* Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived
in  the U.S. for at least one year
* Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot
be  determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age
21
* Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as
long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for
at  least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this
time)
* A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien
 father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

Kenya is not a US possession..

Unless of course, Obama was born in the US Embassy in Nairobe?

 MG>> Had Arnold been
 MG>> born in Guam or the Panama Canal zone he could be POTUS.

 BK>  Wrong.

As I read it, you are correct.

 MG>> requirement, but if it can be proven that he was, in fact,
 MG>> born in Kenya he cannot be POTUS.

 BK>  Wrong.

You would be correct if he had been born before 05/24/1934.

If indeed he was born in Kenya, he is in deep shit.
