He is a natural born citizen but not eligible to run for President because he was born in a foreign country of one American parent. I went through the same process for the same reason and I cannot run for President even though I have papers that say I'm a citizen from birth. The judge who swore me in and a courtroom full of other American born children, who were born in foreign countries, not on what is considered American soil, like an embassy or military base, were told by the same judge that we have all the privileges of being American, voting and running for office with the exception of the office of the Presidency. I'm sick of people making up their own rules to suit themselves.
One of the children at that swearing in ceremony asked why it was so and the judge explained it was to insure that the Presidency was only for natural born Americans. Americans born overseas to let's say American soldiers during war or other such type incidents could be loyal to the country of their birth and not the USA. That's why. Agree or disagree with the reasoning if you like but that's how it was explained to me.
