No. He was born with Dual Citizenship British/American, his British citizenship was transferred to Kenyan when Kenya became independent and he lost his Kenyan citizenship at age 23 because he didn't renounce his American citizenship (Kenya doesn't allow dual citizenship). So currently and since age 23 he holds citizenship in only one country--The United States of America.

∙ 11y agoCurrently, Obama only has American citizenship. But, he was a dual citizen of both the United States and Kenya until the age of 23, after which he lost his Kenyan citizenship due to the Kenyan constitution limit. There is speculation that because Kenya was a British Colony at the time of Obama's birth and that his father was a British citizen he may be able to claim UK citizenship as well.

Did the rocky mountain news say that obama had dual citizenship?
They did, but later corrected it. Obama's dual citizenship expired Aug 4, 1984.
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.
