Actually, as Attorney's Apuzzo and Donofrio show (and backed by Barry's own admission on his campaign web sites), Barry was born a British subject by virtue of his British subject father and the British nationality act of 1948. The same web site mentions that he lost his Kenyan citizenship at age 21, but doesn't say he lost his British citizenship from birth.

Since there is no known record of Barry renouncing his British citizenship and no British legal "act" that would have removed his British citizenship (obtained AT BIRTH)...he continues to be a British citizen today and perhaps a U.S. Citizen (assuming birth in HI...yet to be proven).

So, at this point, "best case" scenario for him is he is a dual citizen (British & U.S.). Thus the question, of weather or not International Law (& U.S. Law) recognizes a dual citizen's ability to enter into certain (all?) treaties.

It’s not so much that his father was a British subject, and thus he is a British subject under *British* law, but rather that his father was *NOT* a US Citizen, that is problematic. US law, common or statute, doesn’t care what British law, especially statute law, has to say.
