You’re an idiot. It’s not that he may have committed fraud in the ‘80s - he may indeed have been (or may be yet for all we know) an Indonesian citizen.

Even if he were an Indonesian citizen (and we know for sure he wasn't), it would be irrelevant to his eligibility.

The fraud was lying about his eligibility, if he was an Indonesian citizen.

Nope. Holding dual citizenship with Indonesia would be irrelevant to his eligibility (even though we know he never held such citizenship).

“Holding dual citizenship with Indonesia would be irrelevant to his eligibility...”

Tell that to the U.S. State Department:

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1753.html

“However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there.Most U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States.”

That being said, if Soetoro was an Iranian and U.S. citizen, which country would he be forced to represent?

You’re argument is not only ignorant, it’s downright dangerous!
