His father was a Kenyan citizen (British Colony citizen) and his mother to young to pass along American citizenship. Thus, he needs to prove otherwise that he is eligible to serve as President.

Fine, but why could he not have been born in Hawaii, and apply for his British Passport from there? You do not have to be born in Britain or a British Colony to qualify for a British Passport — all you required back then was a British parent. In my case, I applied thru my father. Why could Obama not have done the same thing?
(Answer: there is no reason why he couldn’t have)
If he was born in hawaii, he’d have dual citizenship, which would account for the passport issue.
