A citizen at birth is a natural born citizen. Always seemed pretty simple to me, and I think that's likely what courts would interpret it to mean.

For legal purposes in the U.S., an American is entitled to all the rights of being American (or of being a natural born citizen).

It's completely irrelevant whether one parent is foreign, or even if someone holds dual citizenship

So the question now becomes, how can Obama be both a natural born citizen, and a British citizen at birth?

In the same way that I am a natural-born citizen and a Bangladeshi German citizen at birth.
