If he was born in Hawaii his Kenyan status doesn't matter.

Yes, it does. Citizenship is hereditary, you obtain it by the virtue of your parent's citizenship.

Secretary of State Bayard ruled under Section 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes in 1885 that although Richard Greisser was born in the United States, his father at the time of his birth was a subject of Germany, and thus, Richard Greisser could not be a citizen of the United States. Furthermore, it was held his father was not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States under the Fourteenth Amendment.

For the sake of argument, lets say Zero WAS born in the US. Like Greisser, he has a father that was never a citizen subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Obama Sr. was a temporary visitor on a student visa, which had no effect on his status as a foreign citizen.

Four months after he was born, Zero became a Kenyan citizen under the same statutes his father did.

At best, Zero carries DUAL citizenship, and is NOT a natural-born citizen of the United States.

Bump for an important post.

You are citing an opinion from the Secretary of State over a hundred years ago, that was found to be invalid. That's not the law.

The law is, if you are born in the US, no matter what your parents are, you are a citizen.
