The song basically states that President Obama was not born in the United States, and that should prevent him from becoming the President. However, any "natural-born" citizen can become President of the United States. Natural-born simply means that the person must be a citizen of the United States at birth, whether by being born to one or more United States citizens or by being born on United States soil. Regardless of the President's birthplace, he was born to a United States citizen, his mother, and thus is a natural-born citizen and eligible for President. For this reason, I find the "song" fundamentally flawed. | The song basically states that President Obama was not born in the United States, and that should prevent him from becoming the President.
