Kenyan citizenship requirements were changed after the aborted coup attempt in 1982 to require that BOTH parents be Kenyan citizens, even if the birth was in Kenya.

Unless Obama’s American mother took Kenyan ciizenship, that leaves him out.

Seems to me that citizenship is determined by the state of the law at the time of birth?

How could an ex post facto change in the law strip one of one’s citizenship at birth?

Panama has always changed its laws since McCain was born, but that doesn’t make McCain a Panamanian.
