We are asking that Obama provide a “ceritified copy” of the oath he took to regain his citizenship
What’s this “to regain his citizenship”? And “certified” was spelled wrong in the filing papers. I’m thinking this was retyped from some other source.
Hopefully the original is not in crayon. /grin

I'm no lawyer, but my understanding goes like this. It's widely believed that Bambi's Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, legally adopted him in the mid 1960s. If this adoption theory is correct, Bambi immediately acquired Indonesian citizenship. However, Indonesia did not recognize dual citizenship at the time. Which presumably means that Bambi lost his U.S. citizenship when he was adopted. (My guess is that the court will find some reason to say he didn't, like he was only five years old and therefore unable to make a decision to renounce his citizenship.)
If he did lose US citizenship, he could have re-established it when he returned from Indonesia to live with his grandparents. That is what the "regain his citizenship" language is about.
Again, my utterly unqualified guess is that the court will say he didn't have to do that.
Yes, I believe the info was retyped by Texas Darlin'.
