But in the 60's, the common thing was kids to travel on their parent's passport--particularly a baby.

Yes, but the baby had to be listed on the parent's passport. No way the State Depatment would do that for a baby who wasn't a citizen (as Obama would not have been had he been born overseas).

And in their mother's lap! ;^)

But, if the baby was a newborn, how did he get on the passport. She would have had to apply at the embassy. In 1961, did we have an embassy in Mombassa? Nairobi?

Not that I know of no. As late as the 80's; nobody ever said anything to me about listing my kid on my passport.

I know that is done now--my sister had her kids on hers. But in the earlier period, I never heard of it. I traveled all over the world and saw lots of babies and little kids.

My parents were in Germany in the early sixites(Dad stationed there in the Army). My sister was born there and all my mom used was my sister's Birth Certiicate to fly her back to the States. She was not on her passport at that time.

What about Obama Jr being listed on his Dad’s passport ???

Also Ann as the wife was probably just added to Obama Srs passport...

He already had one so it wouild have been easy to do if they got married in Hawaii...

Would they put an American wife onto a Kenyans passport ??? maybe not..

Otherwise she would have to have her own US passport..

I think Jr may have been on Dads passport...
