The arms were granted on October 15, 1963.
The shape of the shield and spears are those used by the Masai tribe. Harambee is the motto of the chief political party KANU (Kenya African National Union) and means "all pull together". It was used by the first President Jomo Kenyatta to try to turn 50-60 disparate tribes into one nation at independence. The chicken is the symbol of the KANU. The shield colors represent the struggle for independence - green is the earth, red is the blood of the Mau Mau warriors for independence and black the rich soils. The lions are obviously a key animal in Kenya's wildlife parks.

I don't know how to say this in a politically correct manner without provoking mod reaction but, this whole Obama BC thing is pretty much a pathetic attempt by those who simply can't come to terms that Obama won fair and square, certainly with a lot more votes then Bush had during his reelections (remmember Florida, anyone?).

On that Kenya Law website, where exactly did you go to look at the Constitution from 1963, so I can see it for myself? To me, it all looks like modern stuff.
If the Constitution does say that though, it would explain the discrepancy in the dating I think.
Here's a better link of the 1963 Kenyan Constitution, which right away declares the government a republic.
www.kenya-information-guide.com...
They had 1 year to campaign and hold elections, until the government had officers and was operational in Dec 12 1964.
But they knew in Dec 1963 that the *type* of govermment would be a Republic, as outlined by their Constitution.

If there was anything to the doc, don't you think the repubs would have been all over it. Rather than some lawyer bringing it into some court?
If there was something to it, it would have been mainstream new by now.
You'll never hear about this again in a few weeks time.
I am sensing a lot of wishful thinking in this thread and it's really weird. In other words you're not trying to uphold the constitution, uphold principles, etc. you're hoping this is the thing that justifies your bias.

Oh boy, this is getting interesting...
Let me put my tinfoil hat on for a sec.
People always say why didn't the Republicans raise the BC issue if they knew about during the election?
I always thought the republicans had no chance whatsoever of winning and they knew it. So hold back the bc issue for awhile. If they prove he was inelligible 7 months into the presidency and prove democratic leaders knew and tried to hide it they win by destorying the democratic party forever...
There certainly is a lot of anti- obama feelings growing (healthcare, bailouts,GM etc) now would be the perfect time to dicredit him.
Don't forget this whole this is a big game to these idiots. They don't care about us or america as long as they are in power.
Next step IMO? I've got a funny feeling there is going to be something bad happen to deflect this. False Flag anyone?

I honestly believe that we are protecting the Constitution.
1) The photograph has three resolutions embedded. The highest resolution is for the paper. The second highest resolution is the fabric background. The lowest resolution is the text.
2) Mis-spelled the name of the village that Obama's father was born in as "Kanyadhinng" instead of Kanyadhiang".
3) Gave the age of Obama's father as "26". He was born in 1936 and thus could not have been older than "25".
4) The certificate number is given as "47,044" which is remarkable considering that Barack Hussein Obama was 47 years old when he was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States.
5) Most damning of all, the font used is Schmutz, which was invented in 1995.
