Please don’t talk about jurisdiction so much, you clearly don’t understand all of the ramifications here. At least that is the polite interpretation. Dr Ann Dunham Soetoro’s actions might have a lot to do with this argument. They also might not. I’d like to see her passport records for this period too to find out if President Obama is, or was, dual national Indonesian/American. According to the USDOS a dual citizen is subject to the laws/jurisdictions of both countries equally, except when the person is in the specific countries in which they hold citizenship. Then, that particular country holds the rights. So, if you are a dual US/Irish citizen you answer to US law in the USA and Irish law in the Irish Republic. Of course Ireland is in the EU, so you are also an EU citizen and answerable to EU law in the EU. Outside the EU you answer to US, Irish and EU law equally. This is why dual citizenship is a problem in an executive head of state. You should read the Civil Rights Act 1866 and the Expatriation Act 1868 to discover what jurisdiction means in the 14th Amendment. You are misusing Wong Kim Ark and you are wrong. I’ll repeat there may have been no adoption at all. Can you read Dutch or Bahasa Indonesian?

"You are misusing Wong Kim Ark and you are wrong."

Sure, me and the three-judge panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals is "wrong".

That's very believable. /s

Look, you're entitled to your very strange opinion, but if you're going to opine that someone is wrong, perhaps that will carry a bit more weight if you can provide some supporting evidence of that opinion, preferably a court decision or two would be nice.
