Charles Johnson claims to have proof that Obama is an Indonesian citizen.

This may be true, but has NOTHING to do with U.S. citizenship. Red Herring.

If Indonesia wants to give someone citizenship, they are free to do so, as many countries do. This acquiring of citizenship, usually through a foreign parent, has ZERO effect on U.S. citizenship.

It’s quite simple, we don’t let other countries tell us who our citizens are or give or take away U.S. citizenship. It is absurd to even think the U.S. would allow such a thing.

In Obama’s case, he was a minor when in Indonesia. He could not lose his U.S. citizenship (if he ever had it) until he was at least 18. Then he would have to petition the U.S. government to allow it. There would be a record of such an event. Parents can not relinquish your citizenship! You have to do it YOURSELF after the age of maturity (18). The U.S. government can take it from you for joining a foreign army and or fighting against the U.S. and some other obscure treasonous reason.

The Indonesian angle is a non starter. He wasn’t born there. He was born in Kenya. He was born a British subject. His legal father was a British subject, so Obama fails BOTH tests of jus soli (right of birthplace) and jus sanguinis (right of blood). Not only isn’t Obama a natural born citizen, he very likely isn’t a U.S. citizen AT ALL.

His Kenyan birth certificate has not been proved to be a forgery. Quite the contrary, it has been submitted as evidence in at least two court cases, with sworn affidavits, as to how it was acquired.

One of the alleged Kenyan birth certificates has been proven to be a forgery and a hoax. It was forged from the birth certificate of an Australian gentleman named David Bomford.

Another version of a Kenyan birth certificate has the problem of being the property of one Lucas D. Smith who has previous felony and misdemeanor convictions (including forgery) and is currently a fugitive from Iowa justice residing in the Dominican Republic.
