“Indonesia did not permit dual citizenship as has been posted many times on here. You also had to be a citizen of Indonesia to attend school in Indonesia.
Other countries’ rules in no way effect citizenship under American law. Following your logic, North Korea could declare George Bush a citizen of that country, ban dual citienship and thereby automatically disqualify him from the Presidency.
When he turned 18, he had one opportunity to declare for American citizenship
I don’t follow. Dual citizenship is legal under American law- regardless of his status under Indonesian law, Obama did not have to do anything at age 18 to maintain his American citizenship.”

Actually it does, because it would have had to go through the US State Department for Indonesia to give Obama Citizenship, his mother would have had to sign Documents to that effect. Mothers have legally binding authority over their Children.
If Obama retains his Natural Born State, why not Prove that? Because he can’t.
Again, I'm not sure I follow- why would the State Department have anything to do with whether or no another country recognizes you as a citizen? Other countries don't have any say when the US makes someone a citizen, and the reverse is true.
If Obama retains his Natural Born State, why not Prove that? Because he can’t.
Unless he affirmatively gave up his American citizenship at one point (which would be reflected in American records), he did not have to do anything to retain his citizenship.
