Parents should renounce their citizenship so that the child's citizenship can be given up as well. You cannot apply on behalf of a minor nor he or she can do it unless they have reached the age of majority.
* This is for countries that allow their citizens to renounce their citizenship; some have complicated regulations, taxes, compulsory military service, or they just won't let you do that at all.

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.
