However, the long argument Donofrio weaves is no more accurate than the FactCheck.org article he castigates. The details of what went wrong are over on my blog, but the essence is that the parts of the British Nationality Act of 1948 that forms the basis of Donofrio’s contention that Obama’s British citizenship continues, was REPEALED by by the 1981 Act that Donofrio claims magically revived Obama’s claim to British Citizenship.

Donofrio (who is still technically a lawyer, but doesn’t practice law any more) is NOT a lawyer in Great Britain. When it comes to British law, he’s an amateur blogger just like the rest of us.

There are no provisions in it for minors to choose their citizenship. All it says is that if you become a Kenyan Citizen on that day, you lose your CUKC. There are very few exceptions, none of which Obama qualifies for, David.

Now, it’s Kenyan Citizenship that allows you to keep it in the minority, until 21, which in order to keep it, you must renounce all other citizenships. Show me the provisions in the Kenyan Independence Act where it would not apply to children. You asked for my sources on that, I gave them to you. Now, let me see your sources on minors being able to keep CUKC.

Obama lost his citizenship in the UK at the age of 2.

Oh, and MGB, it’s people like you that make this a conspiracy theory. Basically, what you’re saying is that Obama, despite living in the United States at the time, renounced his U.S. Citizenship, while he was on a trip to Kenya in 1982. The State Department knew this, but allowed him back into the country, and then covered this up for the next 20 years, just in case that Obama ever ran for President?

Gotta love the conspiracy there…

No, Obama has to first establish a fact of natural born citizenship of the USA, which he cannot do without evidence from Hawaii. Which has NOT been proferred YET. Fukino’s OPINION notwithstanding.
