Showing respect for another countries laws does not mean the state department would strip an adopted child of his citizenship which is the only way a child could lose his citizenship. Indonesia cannot strip a child of his US citizenship. And there was no US law that allowed the US Government to strip the minor child of his citizenship.

The child could still be adopted by Soetoro, he just would not gain Indonesian citizenship. Until he reached the age of 21 and decide to become a naturalized INdonesian citizen.

It's not about "stripping" citizenship. Now you're trying to use drama queen language to salvage a point that you can't support. The law allowed for persons to lose their citizenship if they gained the citizenship of another country. In an adoption, it's treated as though they never had other citizenship at birth, and in Obama's case, we don't ANY legal proof he ever had U.S. citizenship. The State Department cannot provide protection over something in which U.S. law does not have sole jurisdiction.

We already have evidence showing that Barry Soetoro did gain Indonesian citizenship. He didn't have to naturalize to become an Indonesian citizenship because adoption is treated the same as birth citizenship.
