And the mere existence of a Kenyan birth certificate would not be enough to say that Obama was not born in the United States. It would just point to an attempt to “cover all the bases” by giving Obama a claim at dual citizenship.

From the Kenya High Commission

Section 90 of the Constitution of Kenya states that:

A Person born outside Kenya after 11th December, 1963 shall become a citizen of Kenya at the date of his/her birth if at that date his/her father was a citizen of Kenya.

and

Kenya Constitution Section 97 (1) (6) (a) states that:

Any person who, upon the attainment of the age of twenty-one years, is a citizen of Kenya and also a citizen of another country other than Kenya shall cease to be a citizen of Kenya upon the specified date (6)(a) that is: twenty-three (23) years.

So it appears that Obama wouldn't need a fake Kenyan birth certificate to claim citizenship and couldn't maintain dual citizenship after 23.

All I know if I had a great grandfather who came to this country at age 5 and if I recall family lore, his birth certificate and paperwork at the court house in this country were lost along the way because of a fire. In his nineties he had to go through naturalization.

Now if that is good for a “normal citizen” I think it is only fair for someone who wants to be our next President man up and show the paperwork. Barry knocked another Democrat out of his first primary race because she didn’t dot every T and cross every I in Illinois. Only seems fair to demand he do the same.

Obama was registered as a citizen of Indonesia at two schools in Jakarta - - does he still have Indonesian citizenship.
