It would be good form if he did so, then he could take the naturalization oath and "abjure all other allegiances" and perhaps that might cover any OTHER citizenships he might have (Indonesian)...though he'd never be at the level of a natural born citizen, at least it's a step in the right direction!

Scenarios of Obama’s Citizenship Status

Year

Circumstance

Extenuating

Citizenship

1961

Obama born in Hawaii to married Anna and Senior

No birth location documented. 

14th amendment US citizen and British Citizen by Descent

1961

Born in Kenya to Anna and Senior

Stanley Ann’s US citizenship would not convey since she was under age.

British Citizen by Birth only (since born in a colony of Britain)

1961

Born in Vancouver to Anna and Senior

Stanley Ann’s US citizenship would not convey since she was under age.  Canadian citizenship unknown since birth was not registered there.

British Citizen by Descent only

1963 (minor)

Kenya Independence Act of 1963 made Obama a Kenyan Citizen AND IF Obama was born in Hawaii

US would not strip its own citizenship from a minor

14th amendment US citizen +

Kenyan citizen

1963 (minor)

Kenya Independence Act of 1963 made Obama a Kenyan Citizen AND IF Obama was born in Kenya

The Kenya Independence Act of 1963 would have made Obama, IF born in Kenya, only a Kenyan citizen. 

Kenyan Citizen only

1963 (minor)

Kenya Independence Act of 1963 made Obama a Kenyan Citizen AND IF Obama was born in Vancouver

The Kenya Independence Act of 1963 would have made Obama, IF born in Vancouver, only a Kenyan citizen.  Canadian citizenship unknown since birth was not registered there.

Kenyan Citizen only

1964? (minor)

Obama adopted by Lolo Soetoro AND IF born in Hawaii

US would not strip its own citizenship from a minor.  Obama would have to affirm US citizenship at age 18 (six months).

14th amendment US citizen + Indonesian citizen

1964? (minor)

Obama adopted by Lolo Soetoro AND IF born in Kenya

British Nationality Act of 1948 would not have kept Obama’s British citizenship if adopted by Lolo Soetoro.

Indonesian citizen only

1981 (adult)

Traveled to Pakistan and Kenya, possibly using Indonesian passport

Use of passport as an adult is, in terms of US Laws, affirmation of majority consent to citizenship, and would make Obama, in the eyes of the USA, only an Indonesian citizen

Indonesian citizen only

1981 (adult)

Possibly when Obama Went to Kenya in 1981 he went to claim his Kenyan citizenship, which he had to do before his 23rd birthday.

Per the Kenya Independence Act of 1963, Obama had until 1983 to claim his Kenyan citizenship.

Kenyan citizen only.

1981 (adult)

IF Obama did not claim his Kenyan citizenship by age 23, AND used Indonesian passport as adult.

The British Nationality Act of 1948 made Obama a permanent regular British Citizen before his Kenya Independence Act of 1963 expiration date, as well as keeping his Indonesian citizenship -- he went to Occidental as an Indonesian citizen by all reports.

Indonesian citizen (Indonesia does not recognize dual citizenships) and British citizen (Britain does recognize dual citizenships)

1981 (adult)

IF Obama did not claim his Kenyan citizenship by age 23, AND used a US passport as adult.

The British Nationality Act of 1981 that made him a permanent regular British Citizen, since Obama had until 1983 to claim his Kenyan citizenship and the British Nationality Act of 1981 before then had already made him British, so it didn't matter if his Kenyan citizenship expired as it came after the British Nationality Act of 1981.

British citizen and 14th amendment US citizen. 

IN NO CASE IS BARACK OBAMA A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS NOT A US CITIZEN

I don’t know that his father was a Kenyan.

The simple fact is that nobody KNOWS anything about Obama. Everything about him is conjecture. The thousands and thousands of posts on this site is clear evidence that you don't KNOW. I don't KNOW. NOBODY KNOWS.

You have an a$$hole sitting in the Oval Office that doesn't care what you think, and has withheld ALL of the documentation that would shed light on who, what, where, when and how this guy entered the world.

Meanwhile, Obots spend hours on this forum spinning, dissembling, and blowing smoke to obfuscate what little is KNOWN about Obama.

Actually, for a long time people born in the US were often not citizens... even under the simple precedents you cite.

In Sparta, the Helots were not Spartan, under the Early British kings the Welsh and Anglo-Saxons were not citizens. Nor were Americans of african descent or North American natives considered of US citizenship...

That is why laws can be updated, and have been.

After the way they've been treated by Obama, England should revoke his citizenship.
