I just came across this...it is quite long, so I won’t post it here, but it covers many different possibilities. Maybe someone with legal experience could check it out.

One thing that caught my attention:

He has never explicitly renounced his Kenyan Citizenship and is therefore a Dual Citizen and almost certainly ineligible for the Presidency of the USA. Also Under the British Nationality Act 1948 Barack Hussein Obama, Jr, was born a British Subject since his father held a British Passport and was a Subject of the British Crown. His place of Birth and the Nationality of his mother would be irrelevant since, at that time, British Nationality was transmitted via the father. The only factor that would invalidate this would be that his parents were not legally married. If, in fact, his father Registered his Birth in Mombasa it would provide bona fide evidence that Barack Hussein Obama, Snr, intended his son to have British, or Kenyan, and not US Citizenship. If he did the legitimacy clause in the 1948 Act would cease to apply. Subsequently Barack Senior became a Kenyan Citizen (at Kenyan Independence) and, according to Kenyan Law so did his son, if his Birth was Registered in Mombasa. There would also appear to be evidence that his mother acquired Indonesian Nationality when she married his stepfather and that he did too.

All that matter is.......was he born in the United States? All this kenya, Indonesia, British fluff doesn’t mean anything if he was born in Hawaii.

According to the Kenyan Constitution, when he turned 21 Obama would have had to renounce his American citizenship and if he did not then his Kenyan citizenship was voided.

...and almost certainly ineligible for the Presidency of the USA.

Incorrect. Article II of the Constitution gives eligibility for president. Obama qualifies.

Also Under the British Nationality Act 1948 Barack Hussein Obama, Jr, was born a British Subject since his father held a British Passport and was a Subject of the British Crown.

Superceded by the Kenya Constitution adopted in 1963. Under that, all who were considered colonial subjects became Kenyan citizens.

There would also appear to be evidence that his mother acquired Indonesian Nationality when she married his stepfather and that he did too.

Highly unlikely.

Excellent post IMHO this could well be a smoking gun! Boma may be a tri citizen, Indonesian,U.S.and Kenyan. At the very least U.S. and Kenyan. In which case as I have read before he is eligible to run for the office of potus but not hold the office.
