Essentially, though they weren't a republic, they would have put "Republic of Kenya" on official documents as they knew what the form of government was going to be.
Has anyone located a single official Kenyan gov. document to back this up?
Not being snarky, I just don't remember seeing any such document.

they have it on another forum,
(em)
Kenya has a democratic government with political pluralism. In June 1963, Kenya attained internal self-government. On 12 December of the same year, independence was achieved with a complex Majimbo(federal) constitution, which conceded much autonomy to the regions. On the first anniversary of independence in 1964, Kenya became a Republic with Mzee Jomo Kenyatta as the President.
And we are supposed to guess which forum that is?

Now that is an interesting point, so Obama could be a dual citizen and didn't even know it. But he was still born in Hawaii, so he could have BC from both countries.

Like I said, until we get an actual document before a court, and not a jpeg of a picture of a document, all of this discussion is mostly moot.

I think that the flow of the argument is, yes, officially and formally in 1964 did Kenya become a republic, but in the year before that, when the Constitution was adopted in 1963, it was known that Kenya was going to be a republic in '64. Therefore, instead of changing official papers suddenly at that point in December to say "Republic of Kenya" there was a transition period in which "Republic of Kenya" could be used.

He could have had it done when Obama was born in 1961.
