The Denofrio case before the Supreme Court has nothing whatsoever to do with Obama’s Birth Certificate, or whether he was born in Kenya.
It is based on the fact that he gave up his citizenship (if he ever really had one) when his Indonesian step-father adopted him in Indonesia and made Obama an Indonesian citizen, and that country does not honor dual citizenship. So he (or his parents) had to renounce his U.S. citizenship.
Thanx. I’m aware. The only case I mentioned by name is Keyes. I do reference the foreign citizenship.
Obama was in Indonesia from the ages of 6 to 10.
There is no mechanism under US law by which American citizenship can be renounced by or for a minor child. Can't happen. See Perkins v. ELG, 307 U.S. 325 (1939).

US Supreme Court agrees that a native-born US citizen raised in Germany from the age of 4 by parents who had abandoned their naturalized US citizenship remained a native-born citizen of the United States. They specifically agreed with an Attorney General's ruling that in passing mentioned he was eligible to be elected president. This seems a more extreme case than Obama living in Indonesia from 6 to 10.
