Best Answer

He is a citizen of only the United States. At birth he was a citizen of the United States (thus a natural born citizen.) He was also entitled to British citizenship through his father which then became Kenyan citizenship when Kenya became independent, but as Kenya (unlike the U.S.) doesn't allow Dual Citizenship and because he didn't renounce his natural born U.S. citizenship, he lost his Kenyan citizenship at the age of 23. So he was technically a dual citizen until age 23 he has been purely an American citizen since.

He is an American citizen. He was born in Hawaii in 1961. Since Hawaii is a state, people who were born there are in fact Americans by birth.

Is Barack Obama a citizen of Kenya?

President Barack Obama was born on Friday, August 4, 1961, at 7:24 pm in Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital, in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA. That makes him a "Natural Born Citizen" of the USA. He has not lived in Kenya and has no other citizenship besides his American citizenship. President Barack Obama's biological father, Barack Obama, Sr. was born in and a citizen of Kenya.


If President Obama's father was deceased at the time of the 2008 campaign would it still disqualify Barack Obama even if his father had been of African-Kenya citizenship?

No. The fact is that anyone who is born on American soil is by definition an American citizen. Since Barack Obama was born in Hawai'i, which was a State of the United States at the time of his birth, Barack Obama holds American citizenship and is a native-born American by any legal definition. President Obama has never had dual citizenship, but dual citizenship is not an automatic disqualification under the Constitution for the presidency so long as one is a native-born American. However, since Barack Obama has never had dual citizenship of any kind, this principle does not apply to him in any case.
