So, what does that prove?

Now I know what the laws of Kenya are regarding duel citizenship, where is the proof of whatever action the bamster took?

Even if he did, he was still born with divided loyalties per OUR Constitution. He's not a NBC.

So he is not a Kenyan now. That does not matter. Neither does the fact that he was British/Kenyan at birth. The fact that his father was NOT a US citizen at the time of his birht..that counts.

From MINOR v. HAPPERSETT, 88 U.S. 162 (1874)

...all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens

Which parrallels very closely the language in Vattel's "Law of Nations" section 212

The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens
