What year did Barack Obama's mother give up US citizenship?

Barack Obama, the president, never had Kenyan citizenship because he was born in the USA (in Hawaii) and is an American citizen. Barack Obama Sr. (his dad) never gave up his Kenyan citizenship, even though he lived in the USA and studied here for a number of years. (This is a "Birther" question-- it comes from a group of Republicans who still do not believe President Obama was born in the USA, and who keep asking about Kenya. It has been well-documented that President Obama never was born in Kenya and did not even visit Kenya till the late 1980s.)

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.
