The instructions of the renewal application inform the applicant any person previously included on the passport who has naturalized in a foreign state should have their name identified and the declarative sentence that applies should be crossed out. Instead, Ms. Dunham-Soetoro crossed out Obama's name in the Amend section of the application.

YOU WROTE:

Ann Dunham’s US State Department passport file as released per FOIA contains paperwork saying her son Barack is now an Indonesian citizen in no need of an American passport.

=========

And all you are doing is showing his name was removed from her passport. Wouldn't all that apply if the child had been adopted by an Indonesian citizen, and now he wanted to return to Hawaii on his own, with his own passport?

If the adoption was later annulled as has been alluded to, he's still what he was before the adoption took place, correct? So all that Indonesian interlude was, is an interlude which didn't affect his previous status.

All that is a far cry from your statement Ann Dunham’s US State Department passport file as released per FOIA contains paperwork saying her son Barack is now an Indonesian citizen in no need of an American passport.

Martians notwithdstanding.

Thanks for posting that, doesn’t change what he might have returned to after an adoption was annulled, but it sure helped sort out why he might have been held by immigration in 1971, became a ward of the state for a time, at least until the man who bequeathed his name to him in 1982 showed up, and set the crooked record on its continued crooked path...
What an expensive exercise that must have been.

Observation regarding the instruction “Amend to include (exclude) children” on the second page:

“Barack Hussein Obama II” was being included since there were no parentheses around it, and” Soebarkah” was being excluded since there WERE parentheses around the name.

Then the whole thing was lined out.

Looks like there was a problem with adding BHO II and deleting Soebarkah, possibly due to no proof of name change from BHO II to Soebarkah.

So it was left as-is.
