The British Nationality Act of 1948 was the law of the United Kingdom when Obama was born. This established citizenship to the United Kingdom, in those places that were British Colonies (like Kenya). Therefore, Barack Obama Sr. (President Obama’s father) was a citizen of the United Kingdom. Barack Obama Sr. entered the US with a British Passport. Kenya became an independent nation on 12 Dec. 1963 (after Pres. Obama was born).
Section 5 (1) of the British Nationality Act of 1948 says that a person born after the commencement of this act, shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by DESCENT if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom at the time of the birth. and (a) that person is born or his father was born in a protectorate, protected state, mandated territory or trust territory or any place in a foreign country where by treaty, capitulation, grant, usage, sufferance, or other lawful means, His Majesty then has or had jurisdiction over British subjects.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Obama was born in Kenya or Hawaii, he would be a British Citizen. He would be a citizen of the United Kingdom by DESCENT from his father. Kenya became an independent country 12 Dec. 1963. Possibly he was also a Kenyan Citizen, and after Mr. Sotoro, an Indonesian who adopted him, possibly an Indonesian Citizen. But what I see is that he was born a Citizen of the United Kingdom. If Obama is a citizen of the USA he would have had to have been naturalized... so even then he would not be a natural born citizen. If he wasn't naturalized, is Obama a US Citizen? What scares me, is that we possibly have a President who is NOT a US citizen. If I was Obama, I would want to prove immediately that I was a natural born citizen. He can't prove it because then it would become known that he isn't even a citizen of the USA.

Count Birth Certificate comments and ypu will get over 5,000 Butm this site has been rigged so that the posts asking for Obama to support transparency by providing his own birth certificate, health records and college records are not properly counted, even when they do not get deleted.
I have done a personal count of more than 1,000 requests for his birth certificate. My analysis suggests there have been at least 5,000 request for Obama to produce his real birth certificate, college records, health records and other financial records.
It is possible to review this site to find the most requested ideas by scanning "Top Rated" posts, but the requests for Obama's records do not show up as being top rated. Those runnig this site are cooking the results.
According to the liars running this website the most requested item has NOT been Obama's birth certificate.

There is need for the citizenry to have faith and trust in their leader. Our leaders, in order to be perceived as trustworthy should not fear transparent, least of all transparency concerning an official birth certificate.
It is necessary for me to produce my official birth certificate to the DOJ in order to obtain a passport -- simply because I want to sail off on a cruise ship and go sight seeing for a couple of days. I am not go on a cruise with the purpose of affecting the education system, international affairs, to nominate individuals to the SCOTUS, or attempt to fix the US economy!
Mr. Obama, only last week, unabashedly stated last that we proceed with his plan on shutting down Gismo on the basis of the rule of law.
Dear Mr. Obama, on the basis of the rule of law, please will you produce the legally required documentation that verifies your qualification to sit in the Oval Office. It's the same one that I needed to get my passport so I could take a cruise. Thank you for your promptness in producing the requested document and not another.
As long as we are on the subject of transparency, I read an online article that made some interesting allegations against you. It appeared in the article that your staff did not want to provide a direct answer, and gave one of those politico-speak specifically vague non-answers. Now, I don't believe everything I read, preferring to go to the original source to verify information. Since you are the original source, please will you be transparent on the following matter? Many have read the following online article:
"A 2007 Associated Press photograph, suppressed until now, shows the school register of the child who is today known as Barack Hussein Obama but was officially listed then as Barry Soetoro, whose citizenship was listed as 'Indonesian' and whose religion was listed as 'Islam.’ The visual evidence starkly contradicts the Obama campaign's claim that he was not a Muslim and confirms that he is a national of at least one other country.
...
“In addition, it raises the highly problematic issue of what is Obama's official name. If it turns out to Barry Soetoro, and no official change of name was ever made, Obama may face an array of charges of deception and misprision that may throw into doubt, at the very least, his fitness to run. " ( http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/13056.htm ).
#1: Under what name were you actually registered when attending school in Indonesia? Since you deal in transparency, a copy of your registration at this school will immediately quell the allegations that your name was at one time Barry Soetoro.
#2: On the off chance that the image in this article is official, please will you produce your birth certificate under that name? This will result in the silencing of critics who believe that you may not meet the qualifications to serve in your current position.
I so look forward to your leading by example rather than rhetoric. This will instill trust in your leadership. Thanks much!
