Here’s one.

Born in the US to an American woman from a foreign father.

Then ADOPTED by an Indonesian man and resides in Indonesia.

At this point he is now an Indonesian citizen.

When he comes back to America he is in effect a NATURALISED American, hence unqualified to hold the office.

But I am sure if you delve into the details, the immigration law has been modified retroactively to negate his Indonesian citizenship, possibly since he was a minor, hence allowing his eligibility.

Two Cents, FWIW.

A parent cannot strip a child born in the U.S. of his U.S. citizenship. That birthright belongs to the child and not to the parent.

If Aristotle Onassis had adopted John and Caroline Kennedy, they would still have been U.S. citizens .... regardless of what Jackie and Aristotle did or did not do.

F. RENUNCIATION FOR MINOR CHILDREN Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under Section 349(a)(5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation, is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship.

Obama is hiding his original birth certificate because it probably lists his birth name as "Barry Dunham". Since Obama, Sr. was already married in Kenya and bigamy is illegal in the U.S., the birth certificate may have even listed Stanley Ann Dunham as "Single".

If Rush and Hannity are not barking up the "not a U.S. citizen" tree, they are pretty sure that it is the wrong tree.

Hey swarthy, since you asked, here is MHO:

He is spending his money attempting to convince everyone that NATIVE BORN=NATURAL BORN. That bogus tactic seems to be working out pretty well for him, since every one from my Senator to the milkmnan has told me that since "He was born in Hawaii," it's OK for him to be my POTUS,

IMHO, if the Mombasa Moonbeam is found to have been born at home plate in Wrigley Field on the 4th of July, with the Marine Band playing the SSB softly in the background, that is just swell; just not enough to get him declared a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, which the old white guys who wrote the COTUS specified.
