“Kenya was not called “Kenya” in 1961 it was called “The British East Africa Protectorate” [BEAP] at the time Obama was born and this document was supposedly printed.”
*******************************************************

BEAP was used only in the 1800s and up to 1920, when it became the colony of Kenya. Their history is shabby. What else is as bad?

I collected stamps as a child. I have almost a complete collection of "Kenya-Uganda-Tanganyika" stamps from the late 1940's with George VI's face on them, and another complete set with the same three countries named on each stamp only with a young Queen Elizabeth's image (after 1953).

If, as you suggest, it wasn't known as "Kenya", why did that name appear on postage stamps from that era?
