This Could be trouble for big O, “The One”.

[Arthur McGowan]

I have dual citizenship (U.S. and Irish), but I am a natural-born American citizen.

Whether Obama is or is not a natural-born citizen hinges entirely on his having been born in Hawaii—and so far, he’s provided no evidence that he was.

[Ken522]

Maybe this is what Hillary is waiting for? With this information, she’ll get the nomination ...

[End Times Sentinel]

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

Doesn't say anything about dual citizens not being eligible.

[John Galt's cousin]

I am startig to understand those who say nothing in politics happens by accident.

Wouldn't a kerfluffel about his citizenship work to the benefit of clinton at the convention? (I do not think that dual citizenship would constitutionally make him ineligible for the presidency - if he was born in the USA)

“Section 90 of the Constitution of Kenya:
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”

He’s not a Kenyan citizen, unfortunately.

Now the birth certificate forgery, I’d like to see proof that the COLB is genuine. That’s something that should be explored.

[Non-Sequitur]

Kenya doesn't recognize dual citizenship. Unless Obama renounced his U.S. citizenship on his 21st birthday then his Kenyan citizenship lapsed in 1982.

Kenya Constiution, Chapter 6

[Perchant]

This is a mockery of US citizenship. To become a naturalized US citizenship, you need to take an oath that begins as follows:

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;

So what is the point of this if you can make new allegiances after you are a US citizen? Can someone renounce their old citizenship and then go back and regain that same citizenship they just renounced a week later?

[Oratam]

The Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9:

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

Does foreign citizen count?

[MEGoody]

I don’t believe the constitution prohibits someone from running for President if they have dual citizenship. If someone has information to the contrary, I’d be interested.

[GitmoSailor]

Hi!.....My name is Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........

[Gay State Conservative]

If he does hold Kenyan citizenship in addition to being a "natural born citizen" of the US how does that disqualify him...legally?

Should it disqualify him? Absolutely.But I'll bet it doesn't.

[fanfan]

I haven’t read through the thread yet...have you seen this?

[Sgt Joe Friday 714]

The USC doesn’t forbid someone with dual citizenship from becoming president. They must simply be a citizen of the USA.

Honestly I think the constitutional scholars around FR must have sent away cereal box tops for their law degrees.

[Sgt Joe Friday 714]

A natural born citizen over age 35 that is. It doesn’t forbid those with dual citizenship.

Note the retraction on the website:

Editor’s note: One of the items on this list has been removed because it mistakenly repeated a report that Barack Obama holds dual United States-Kenyan citizenship. This erroneous information was never reported in the Rocky Mountain News print edition.
