Can you refer me to that American law that suggests such can happen to an American minor? Thank you.
I know this because I have a very good childhood friend who was born of a French father and an American mother and he therefore had his father’s citizenship. We are both in our 50’s. At 18 he had the choice of remaining French or becoming American. This is a choice offered to kids born of of parents who themselves are of different nationalities where one parent is American.
My friend was born in the US in Boston, but he had his dad’s citizenship prior to being 18 and he formally filed the necessary paperwork to also acquire his American citizenship at 18. That citizenship is of a naturalized type not natural born.
There is no secret that Obama’s school paperwork in Indonesia lists him as an Indonesian citizen which makes sense since his dad adopted him and that autonatically made Obama Indonesian. His last name was not Obama at the time. It was Soetoro. My guess is that he sudddenly changed his last name to Obama to thinly veil his citizenship problem which he probably did not bother to change when he was 18 and even if he had he would not qualify as natural born. That is what this whole birth certificate/citizenship is all about.
