Does Obama have dual citizenship with Kenya? |
|
I've never heard it, but it is creeping on the tubes out there.
Have we ever had a president with dual citizenship? I find it interesting.

1. I don't think that a president can have dual citizenship. |
|
I'm not sure but it seems like they cannot. I vaguely remember a conversation in a class in high school. We were talking about citizenship and a boy in my class said something to the effect of how he had to give up his "other" citizenship, if he wanted to be president. (He held dual citizenship.)
Now I have to wonder if I heard that correctly the first time.

6. I was fairly sure of that too...they're asking the same about McCain being born in Panama. |

There are a lot of RW sites claiming dual citizenship for Obama. But this article by a Kenyan on Obama has a statement near the bottom that Kenya doesn't allow dual citizenship. http://www.kenyaimagine.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=938&Itemid=119Wiki says a President can have a dual citizenship. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_a_US_president_have_dual_citizenship
