It’s a shame you choose not to pursue proof from Obama of his eligibility as you have pursued me. You’re a pitbull.
Have searched for children issued CLNs in the 60s by SoS Dean Rusk? Did any of those children put forth a convincing argument they understood the ramifications of renouncing their U.S. Citizenship or did SoS Rusk issue a CLN without their consent? Why did the U.S. State Department issue policy guidance for minors to recapture their U.S. Citizenship and natural-born citizenship status if their parents are unable to renounce their children’s citizenship? Someone must have issued those kids a CLN; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need for the policy.
Obama was not the only child issued a CLN by SoS Rusk. Some of the children sued in U.S. Federal Court to recapture their U.S. Citizenship and their natural-born citizenship status. Did the Court all children issued CLNs were to be reinstated or did it rule children issued CLNs would have to make an affirmative act demonstrating a desire to recapture their U.S. Citizenship?
Remember to post pictures, screen caps, audio tapes, video, etc. of the results of your investigation.
So where did Obama=Soetoro naturalize?
OK what I’ve found so far is at http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/109065.PDF
Page 1 says parents or legal guardians cannot renounce or relinquish the nationality of their children or wards. References 7 FAM 1290 for guidance on loss of nationality and minors. (I will post this one separately).
Page 3 in section g says the expatriating act needs to be done overseas.
Page 5 in section (4) it says for guidance on documentation required for loss of nationality cases prior to 1984, consult the Ask-CS-L-Dom-Post@state.gov.
On pages 6 and 7 it talks about who approves the CLN.
Section b (1) at the top of page 6 says its the division chief in the office of American citizen services and Crisis Management (CA/OCS/ACS )
And in (3) (c) it says they have to go to yet another department in cases involving minors.
Section a on Page 7 says secretary of state has authority to determine whether a person not in the u.s. is a u.s.citizen
See my replies with the FAM document excerpts.
Renunciation cannot be done by parents/guardians on behalf of children/wards
children under 16 are presumed not to have the requisite maturity to renounce citizenship.
O was only 7 years old in 1968.
