States don't issue citizenship.
In the entire history of the US, only six people have been honored with US citizenship: Lafayette, William Penn and his wife, Mother Teresa, Raoul Wallembourg, and Winston Churchill. Unless your father is a truly extraordinary person who has done something extraordinary for the US or for humanity and has been declared a US citizen by the President and Congress, what he has acquired is a "fantasy" document that is cute but actually means nothing.

to qualify for Honorary Citizenship!!!!
A non-United States citizen of exceptional merit may be declared an Honorary Citizen of the United States by the President pursuant to an Act of Congress. As of 2007, six people have had this honor bestowed upon them (the seventh has been unanimously recognized by the Senate and is awaiting House of Representatives action and the President's signature), and only two of them were so honored during their lifetime:

No. It is just honorary. Means nothing as far as real citizenship stands.

Honorary is just for show it isnt actually legal.
adding to that I think if someone did something extraordary enough there should be something like that that lets them become a citizen.
