You have reversed the implication. No country can FORCE someone born in America to be the citizen of another land, or compel allegiance.
The British Nationality Act can say anything it wants, but it has no bearing on US law or Obama’s eligibility. Foreign governments cannot declare someone a citizen of their land when they are born in the USA. They can allow someone to apply to citizenship and, in the case of Kenya, require the US citizenship to be abandoned, but they cannot make someone a dual citizen by fiat.
rogers, you’re forgetting that the U.S. immigration and nationality act declares the children of its citizens born abroad to be citizens (while meeting certain requirements). If U.S. law can do this, then other countries’ laws have similar applicability over their citizens abroad.
I see you're not getting any better.
It is not forced on obama, his British Citizenship is his birth right passed along to him by his father.
Allegiance, what allegiance to America has bammie exhibited?
None.
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born 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.http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate.html
Factcheck.org goes on to say this about Obama Sr., Jr. and the British Nationality Act of 1948:
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.http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/does_barack_obama_have_kenyan_citizenship.html
Your boy Barry inherited his fathers foreign citizenship not matter how much you wish it were not true.
The only way he "get out" of that is IF Sr. isn't/wasn't his legal father at birth.
Who exactly 'forced' Obama to post this at his Web site??
