I'm not sure that any adoption is relevant, anyway.

The key issues are (a) was he born in the US, (b) did he renounce his US citizenship by getting and/or using an Indonesian passport. If the answers are 'Yes', 'No', then he is OK, but he is going to need to establish that before the convention.

Well, aren’t they saying he became an Indonesian citizen by virtue of adoption by his stepfather? He was too young to renounce his Indonesian citizenship when he lived there. He came back to Hawaii when he was a kid. Or are they saying he took Indonesian citizenship as an adult now? There would be residency requirements for that, and I haven’t seen anyone try to say he lived in Indonesia after the age of 18. As far as establishing that is he a natural born citizen, no one seems to be questioning that except for some blogs, which is my point. If it is legitimately in doubt, and McCain doesn’t want to raise the issue, why doesn’t the RNC, or a conservative commentator, address it? Having some 9/11 truth nutter file a lawsuit that gets absolutely no attention isn’t accomplishing anything at all. It just seems that all this so called evidence is sketchy at best.
