You seem to be keeping up with this issue. Do you know if it is true that Obama said on his website that he was a “citizen under the 14th Amendment”?

............

from obama's own site factcheck.org by way of fightthesmears on his dual citizenship at birth

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

Say whaaaa?

Yeah, I knew that. But I didn’t know Obama said that. How could he say that?

Plus, is Obama claiming that the British citizenship he attained by descent from his father automatically became citizenship of Kenya because his father’s citizenship status was changed? How would that happen under the circumstances?

Also, IIRC, the new Kenyan citizenship for father did not come into existence until 1963 (again, IIRC)-—at which time he was already divorced from Obama’s mother or she may have already remarried Sotero?

IOW, it seems more likely that Obama was a British subject by birth and whatever happened to that citizenship had nothing to do with what happened some years subsequent to his birth to his biological/no longer legal father’s citizenship.

And when and how did he become a citizen of the USA? If the laws recognize paternity and jurisdiction of flows from the father to the son. How would he have lost his Kenyan Citizenship and when did acquire US citizenship.

The United States recognizes and affirms the laws of other nations as relates to their citizens and as such Obama has his roots legally in Kenya.

He still has three BC’s as well:

1. His original BC before adoption, that was sealed upon his adoption.

2. His new adopted identity BC with his Stepfather.

3. His new change of name identity BC or one from another country.

They are all at variance with each other and conflict with Obama’s story.

BTW, having found his birth certificate amongst his mothers belongings, why did he not submit that as proof of his identity instead of an abstract?
