Show me the law that says a President cannot hold two passports or dual citizenship.
The requirements to be President are in Constitution Article II, Section l, and “Natural Born” is described in 14th Amendment; Title 8 US Code: Section 1401.
Where does it say to run for President you cannot hold citizenship in two countries. or two passports?
First of all, there are many Americans who have lived in other countries, who met residency requirements for citizenship, although born in USA. As long as they did not have to renounce their United States citizenship and could hold dual citizenship, and were born here in USA, or according to the laws I noted above, then they are eligible to run.
Find the law that has prohibited Presidential candidates, or Presidents from holding two passports or dual citizenship, as long as natural born in USA, and I will apologize. I don’t claim to know it all.

I think the “age of consent” was no higher than 16 unless Hawaii was different from the mainland states. At first guess I would expect that it may have been lower in Hawaii rather than higher.
And then theres the birth announcements in two newspapers. Puhleeze!

I could easily see the birth announcement being done just to try to prevent anyone questioning his citizenship. It didn’t have to be as some nut suggested that his mother was making plans for him to run for president some day.
As for smuggling him in, if she was reentering the country as an American citizen with a valid passport and carrying her infant son I doubt there would have been a big problem.
You can be sure that if Obama were republican and a conservative, DAN RATHER would be all over this story like a bad smell....

As witnessed by the need to pass a resolution for John McCain even though he was born to TWO American citizens simply because he was not born on American soil. They probably would have tried to disqualify McCain if they thought there was any real chance he could have won.
I have a certified copy of my birth certificate, with correct seals and signatures issued for specific purposes, and I have my original and they do not look anything alike.
And I am sure there is a copy in the computers of the state, and that may not match either of the above. So unless someone has the Kenya BC, this isn’t going anywhere.
That might be what he is or isn’t hiding, whether he was born in Haiwaii or in Kenya. However I think the real thing he is hiding is the fact that he used his Indonesian passport and the Name Barry Soetero to fraudulently apply for and get grants to the private school in Haiwaii and Occidental etc. I think his statements that he was foreign born is much more damning to the people of America than whether he was born in Kenya or not.
That is why they tried to scrub his passport file and that is why his grandmother filed for social security numbers under a variety of individuals that had the same name but were deceased.
They made his identity and if nothing else, representing yourself as foreign, means you have willingly given up your citizenship.
