Does Obama have dual citizenship with Kenya?

[boston bean]

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.

2. Don't know but a friend married a Brit and

their kids have dual citizenship, would think that would be true of most countries.

3. I did a google.

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.
