I believe the rules for being eligible to run for president states no dual citizenships. Article II, Section 1 makes no reference to "dual citizenship", only to "a natural-born citizen...of the United States".
If born in Hawaii, Obama qualifies. Even if he was granted Indonesian citizenship as a minor -- so long as he rejected his Indonesian citizenship upon reaching his majority...

Technically incorrect. Upon return to the US, his Immigration Status would have changed to Naturalized Citizen, same as my Canadian Grandparents when they immigrated to the US, and AHaaanold, the Gov. of California. They could not have run for POTUS either.
