obama was a british citizen until I think it was 1982 and he placed that on his campaign website.

When Obama was born, he had dual citizenship with Britain, but in 1963 that changed to Kenyan dual citizenship upon that countries independence.

From the Kenya constitution:

A person who, upon the attainment of the age of twenty-one years, is a citizen of Kenya and also a citizen of some country other than Kenya shall, subject to subsection (7), cease to be a citizen of Kenya upon the specified date unless he has renounced his citizenship of that other country, taken the oath of allegiance and, in the case of a person who was born outside Kenya. made and registered such declaration of his intentions concerning residence as may be prescribed by or under an Act of Parliament.

How old was obama in 1982?

21. And since he didn't renounce his US citizenship, his Kenyan citizenship status was revoked at that time, in accordance with the Kenyan constitution. What does that have to do with his parents inability to renounce his US citizenship when he was under 18?

“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.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

What does that have to do with his parents inability to renounce his US citizenship when he was under 18?

That above was placed on annenberg factcheck.org which has no proof whatsoever that obama is or ever was a U.S. citizen. They also have no proof he did not renounce his citizenship. Just words obama and axelturf handed them.

First prove obama was a citizen of the United States and not just a late or delayed certificate of birth which is not citizenship. You cannot renounce something you never had.

So the best thing is for obama to show that vault BC and prove to everyone they were wrong. Then you can come back in and tell us all you were right. Until then, you have nothing more than what obama wants you to have.
