Now I have a question on travel document.
If Obama was indeed born in Kenya and came back to the States with Ann shortly, what travel document did he use?
Or did Ann register Obama’s foreign birth at the closest American Consulate to get his own passport?
Was it possible for baby Obama to travel on Ann’s passport alone without any documentation? Mind you they had to travel through a few countries.
As best I understand as a babe in arms, he wouldn't have needed a passport or even other documentation. Different ethos then.
Don't know regarding the other questions.
I saw this on Israeli Insider. If usmcobra’s theory is correct, this comment fits it and also shows how Obama could have gotten a US Passport without a B.C.:

In the comments by a poster named muzhik:
Obama may never have had to produce his birth certificate to get a passport. As a baby, he would have been included in his mother’s passport as a “family passport”. Whoever took her application may not have required her baby’s BC — it’s the ‘60s, she’s white, the daddy’s black, and it’s not like the kid will ever run for president. Sloppy by today’s standards, but not necessarily by the standards of the time.
After that, it’s just a matter of keeping the passport renewed. When he turned 14, Obama would have gotten his own passport, using the “family” passport as proof of citizenship. If he kept his passport renewed, he never would have needed to produce a certified birth certificate.
At that time, in the bad old days before children were regarded as hardened terrorists, children typically travelled on their parents' passports.
Although several FReepers recounted doing exactly that on the Big Thread, there are still knuckleheads who insist that such a thing never happened.

Why? A baby in arms didn't need a passport. That would be absurd!

Yes. Common practice in those days.
