I've seen no "laws at the time" requiring dual citizenship if pops is a foreigner. Show them to me. And when did it change?
You can doubt Berg all you want, but at least he has an affidavit of the guy who interviewed granny as well as the tape of the conversation.
Oh, but since he (or anyone else, apparently) doesn't have standing, the courts won't get to listen to such evidence about your hero.
Check the constitution of Kenya, Chapter VI. He was granted citizenship on December 11, 1963 because his father was a citizen. He lost it on August 4th, 1981 when he failed to renounce his U.S. citizenship.
You can doubt Berg all you want, but at least he has an affidavit of the guy who interviewed granny as well as the tape of the conversation.
And the affidavit says the interview was conducted in Swahili, which she apparently doesn't speak.

No he doesn't have any standing in court. Nor much credibility out of it.
Have you read the transcript of the complete conversation, or only the part that Berg includes in his filings? Because if that's what you're hanging on to as the smoking gun, you've got problems.
