Actually, it was. Why do you think Cruz didn't win the GOP Primary even though he was the closest competitor, and originally FAR more popular with the evangelicals?
Born in Hawaii, to an American mother. Which makes him an NBC.
Obama acquired foreign citizenship at birth. Fly in the ointment.
According to US Nationality Law, only those born in the US and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are US Citizens. The only exception to that requirement is US-born members of US Native American Tribes. They're currently legally the only people who can acquire a foreign citizenship at birth and still be simultaneously considered a US Citizen at birth.
Here's how we know...
Read US Nationality Law, specifically subsections (a) and (b). If everyone born in the US were actually automatically US citizens, regardless of the circumstances of their birth, subsection (b) would be redundant and would be neither included nor necessary:
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;
(b) a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe: Provided, That the granting of citizenship under this subsection shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of such person to tribal or other property;
And note how "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is omitted in subsection (b). Why? Because as citizens of their respective Indian Nations, they're subject to the those Nation's jurisdiction and do not meet the requirement in the clause in subsection (a).
Since Obama was neither born a member of a US Native American Tribe, nor was a legislative exception made for anyone (other than Native Americans) who acquired a conflicting foreign citizenship at birth, Obama is not a NBC. He was born a Brit via his father.
His mother did have the ability to have him naturalized as a close relative. At best, Obama is a naturalized US Citizen.
If you think you can poke holes in that, explain why subsection (b) of the US Nationality Law is still applicable to those born in the US to this day.

He was born in Hawaii.
Hawaii was already a state at the time of his birth.
Hawaii was already a state at the time of his birth.
Therefore he is a natural born citizen.
You didn't comprehend anything I posted. Explain why subsection (b) of the US Nationality Law is still included and still applies to those born in the US to this day.
