Back on August 8, 2009 I wrote this: this
may be the only certificate on Kenyan file today if British documents were sent
to the UK for archiving leading up Kenya becoming an independent nation.
British National Archives show a son was born to Obama Sr. in 1961 in Kenya
What we know for sure:
# 1
We know that records indicate that Obama’s biological father was
Barack Obama Sr, a Kenyan native, and 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. We know that the geographical location of
Barack Obama, Junior’s birth is not considered by British law. Who the father was determines
citizenship. Had Barack Obama Junior
been born in Tokyo he would still be a citizen
of the United Kingdom
British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II,
Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, 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 and Colonies at the
time of the birth.
In
other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. might have been a U.S.
citizen (by virtue of his allegedly 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.

Obama’s British citizenship was short-lived. On Dec. 12, 1963, Kenya formally gained its independence from the United Kingdom
1. Every person who, having been born in Kenya , is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of
the United Kingdom and
Colonies or a British protected person shall become a citizen of Kenya
2. Every person who, having been born outside Kenya, is on
11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British
protected person shall, if his father becomes, or would but for his death have
become, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of subsection (1), become a citizen of
Kenya on 12th December, 1963.
As a citizen of the UKC who was born in Kenya

There is not significant evidence that Barack Obama Jr. is a citizen of the United States Hawaii Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child's
birth, claimed Hawaii
# 4 If Obama was born outside the United
States and only had his birth registered in Hawaii the fact that his mother was a U. S. Kenya
Now, what might be the outcome of decisions based on these
facts? I have no idea but I am
confident that I have been clear about what we know for sure.

I could no longer serve as President of the United States
The
Framers of the Constitution, at the time of their birth, were also British
Citizens and that’s why the Framers declared that, while they were Citizens of

The Framers wanted to make themselves eligible to be President, but they didn’t want future generations to be Governed by a Commander In Chief who had split loyalty to another Country. The Framers were comfortable making an exception for themselves. They did, after all, create the Constitution. But they were not comfortable with the possibility of future generations of Presidents being born under the jurisdiction of Foreign Powers, especially
The Framers declared themselves not eligible to be President as “natural born Citizens”, so they wrote the grandfather clause in for the limited exception of allowing themselves to be eligible to the Presidency in the early formative years of our infant nation.
But nobody alive today can claim eligibility to be President under the grandfather clause since nobody alive today was a citizen of the
The Framers distinguished between “natural born Citizens” and all other “Citizens”. And that’s why it’s important to note the 14th Amendment only confers the title of “Citizen”, not “natural born Citizen”. The Framers were Citizens, but they weren’t natural born Citizens. They put the stigma of not being natural born Citizens on themselves in the Constitution and they are the ones who wrote the Document.
Since the the Framers didn’t consider themselves to have been “natural born Citizens” due to their having been subject to British jurisdiction at their birth, then Senator Obama, having also been subject to British jurisdiction at the time of his birth, also cannot be considered a “natural born Citizen” of the United States.
Barack Obama’s official web site, Fight The Smears, admits he was a British Citizen at birth.
Since Obama had dual citizenship “at birth” and therefore split loyalties “at birth”, he is not a “natural born citizen” of the

Indonesian law at the time also did not
recognize dual citizenship, meaning if Obama became Indonesian, then as far as
that country was concerned, his U.S.
citizenship was no longer recognized by Indonesia U.S.

a revelation that raised a few eyebrows, Obama last April disclosed he traveled

If Obama indeed possessed Indonesian citizenship as a child, it is unlikely he retains such citizenship. The country's bylaws require any Indonesian citizen living abroad for more than five years to formally declare his intention to return, otherwise risk losing his citizenship status. The law does not necessarily mean Indonesian citizenship would be immediately lost. The law can be overruled by ministerial order.
Obama's registration in
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ann filed for Divorce Jan. 20, 1964 (Inauguration Day – what are the odds?), and the date was set by the presiding judge for the trial to commence 30 days after Obama SR would have responded to his notification, sent to Cambridge, Mass (Cambridge – what are the odds? ).
Judge Samuel P. King who granted the divorce – last I heard was retired and alive (for now) in his 90s in Hawaii — MAY or MAY NOT have asked to see the Marriage Certificate. BUT, I bet Judge King asked to see Obama JR’s Birth Certificate to confirm Ann’s claims that Obama SR was in fact the father. That is “standard” policy to have a Birth Certificate in case the mother asks for child support from the father (or Welfare) later after the divorce. Judge King probably told Ann to produce a birth certificate before or at trial, which would have been sometime in mid- to late-February 1964 HAD Obama SR answered his notice that was sent to Cambridge.
When Judge King wrote the order on Jan. 23, he had his clerk notify Obama SR via what’s referred to as a “knock and nail”. That is, the postman leaves the notification on the door for (generally) 10 days and retrieves it after that time passes — signed or unsigned. That order was sent on Jan. 23 via airmail from Hawaii and was probably posted on Obama SR’s door Jan. 27-28.
Obama SR’s notification was unsigned by him and apparently IGNORED — either he didn’t want to accept it OR he was NOT at that location.
However, Judge King granted the divorce to Ann Obama (which changed back to Ann Dunham) exactly 60 days from when the original order was request by Ann by default.
NOW, my guess is that Judge King asked to see Obama JR’s Birth Certificate before he’d be willing to grant the divorce, either at trial or by default on March 20, 1964. Ann probably didn’t have the birth certificate when she filed on Jan 20. That’s when this birth certificate would have been generated — before trial for the 1964 divorce.
Important side note: the Certificate issue date of Feb 17, 1964, is JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS AFTER KENYA BECAME INDEPENDENT on Dec. 12, 1963. TO THIS DATE, this may be the only certificate on Kenyan file today if British documents were sent to the UK for archiving leading up Kenya becoming an independent nation.
If you note the date on the Certified Copy, it was created by the Registrar in Kenya on Feb. 17, 1964. The Kenyan Birth Certificate would have been issued in the midst of the divorce — AFTER the divorce was filed by Ann in Hawaii on Jan. 20, but BEFORE the divorce was granted by Judge King on March 20.
Furthermore, it’s quite plausible that once Ann actually had this Kenyan birth certificate in her hands, and the divorce was granted on March 20, her attorney, George Kerr, counseled her on Hawaiian birth certificate “loopholes” and told her how to file for a Hawaiian “Certificate of Delayed Birth” to get Welfare or OTHER support for young Obama as a child of a non-supporting foreign national.
As Hawaiian law allows, that CODB could have been “upgraded” later to a “Certificate of Live Birth” in the 60s or 70s, which would then be a “root document” of the shorter “Certification of Live Birth” we see today presented as proof of birth from Barack Hussein Obama II.
I can’t vouch for the veracity of the Kenyan birth certificate itself, not knowing how or from whom Orly obtained the birth certificate (the chain of evidence). It may have been obtained quite surreptitiously from the only filed Kenyan birth certificate record copy requested — likely generated from the 1964 divorce.
It’s QUITE possible that all other copies of this Kenyan birth certificate may have been scrubbed from Kenyan archives, but this one may have survived in a lone Vital Statistics office somewhere in Kenya not known about until now.
HOWEVER — the dates DO “line up” for the Kenyan Birth Certificate to be REAL.
