Not sure it's all that simple. Say, for example, he was born in Kenya to American parents. Would that make him a "natural born citizen" eligible to become president?
According to the wikipedia:
> The consensus of early 21st-century constitutional scholars, together with relevant case law, is that natural-born citizens include, subject to exceptions, those born in the United States.
Complicated stuff -- if you're born on a US military base in a Germany vs a hospital next to the base &etc...
