he or his parents would have had to renounce his U.S. or any other citizenship!

Nonsense.

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.

Indonesian law is moot on this compared to US law.

You are saying then that Indonesian Government wouldn’t have insisted that this occurred? They wouldn’t care?? He lived in Indonesia as Barry Soetoro from about 10 years old to the age of 13 where he was trained to be a Muslim. I doubt our government officials would have been that alert to catch it was being done under duress or not, just look at how sharp they are on protecting our borders!
