That applies to births to Kenyan citzens outside the country after 1963. I haven't a clue what the law is for a 1961 birth, though it's not really much of an issue.

That would apply to anyone holding dual citizenship. Per an earlier section in Chapter 6, that would include Obama.

"Every person who, having been born outside Kenya. is on llth December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall. if his father becomes. or would but for his death have become, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of subsection (1). become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December. 1963."

Every person who, having been born outside Kenya. is on llth December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom...

Maybe he can be a UK citizen too!

[2009 Shallow Hal]

I would like to add that no one has considered the changed definitions of who constitutes a citizen when born of mixed citizenship - IE his father was NOT a citizen.

The 1952 INA clearly states that those born to mixed citizenship one parent MUST BE a U.S. citizen for at least 5 years AFTER the age of 16 (meaning Mommie had to be 21 when she had baby) for the child to be a U.S. citizen.

The Act was ameneded in 1986 but most people interpret that change as reflective of those born AFTER 1986.

Accordingly - Obama cannot be President based on the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.
