So in essence, we can’t deny the possibility that Obama, as a small child of sound mind, acting on his own ‘COULD’ have renounced his U.S. citizenship if he wanted to and it would have been granted?

It takes a lot of work,even as an adult,to lose US citizenship. Barry spending a few years in Indonesia as a kid does not,in any way,rob him of full US citizenship.”
What about this one?
Question is, if its not possible for a minor to (somehow) lose their u.s. nationality, how in the world can a SOS supposedly issue a cert of loss of nationality, as Sven theorizes?
At a minimum, it would require Obama to have gone to an embassy in a foreign country, and then fill out paperwork and swear he was renouncing his country. The State Dept would have it on record. Ultimately, the courts would have to agree that Obama was able to make that decision freely and knowingly. I haven’t heard of it ever being allowed for a minor. It certainly didn’t happen at 7-8 years of age...or at 10.
