If Obama indeed possessed Indonesian citizenship as a child, it is unlikely he retains such citizenship.

I've not followed the details of this issue closely; I'm one of the "he's clearly hiding something, so what is it" crowd. So here's my naive question:

I had the notion that children with dual nationalities needed to make an election when they reached maturity. Assuming he was born in Hawaii, BO would have been U.S.-Kenyan. If he later became an Indonesian national, he would have been U.S.-Indonesian. Did he need to make a citizenship election at age 18 or 21? Did he?

I don’t believe that there is any record of him doing so. He probably lost U.S. citizenship when he was adopted and schooled in Indonesia.

Which bring us to the false selective service registration, sent in response to a FoI request, posted on Debbie S's website.

As far as US law is concerned, no, he did not have to make an election. We recognize dual nationality
