I wouldn’t go to Donofrio for sources.

I know where to go to read the law. I don’t have to look to Junk Sources.

The Obamas WERE NOT LEGALLY MARRIED IN THE US. THEY COULD NOT BE LEGALLY MARRIED IN THE US.

Really, do you not understand about Bigamy?

Donofrio apparently didn’t have a clue because didn’t he go on about Obama having UK citizenship? He couldn’t have had UK citizenship if born in the US. Do you understand why? No UK citizenship unless Ann went to Kenya and had a customary marriage OR Obama was born in Kenya.
MY source? A UK governmental website AND Kenyan laws dug up from their governmental Website.

TRY IT IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME.

Did Donofrio even understand that Kenya did not recognize a mix of customary marriage and statutory marriage? So Obama was not married to Ann in the eyes of the US Law OR the Kenyan/UK law.

As for the 14th Amendment...I just can’t believe you think that..especially if you are a lawyer. It is ludicrious.

Read Wong.

When Barack Obama Jr. was born, reputedly on Aug. 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children:

British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.

In other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC.

Obama's British citizenship was short-lived. On Dec. 12, 1963, Kenya formally gained its independence from the United Kingdom. Chapter VI, Section 87 of the Kenyan Constitution specifies that:

1. Every person who, having been born in Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963...

2. Every person who, having been born outside Kenya, is on 11th 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.

As a citizen of the UKC who was born in Kenya, Obama's father automatically received Kenyan citizenship via subsection (1). So given that Obama qualified for citizen of the UKC status at birth and given that Obama's father became a Kenyan citizen via subsection (1), it follows that Obama did in fact have Kenyan citizenship after 1963.
