[Citizen Blade]

And where on earth did these people ever get the idea that it was? Can Russia, or Panama, bestow citizenship on McCain and disqualify him? Of course not. My mother is an immigrant, and since she had not been naturalized at the time I was born, I could have, until age 21, applied for dual citizenship. I didn't but doing so would not have cost me my US citizenship.

It's idiotic. Dual citizenship is perfectly legal under American law. Some people, such as my future kids, will be dual citizens from birth through no actions of their own. It defies credibility that such people would be barred from the Presidency because of the laws of another country.

My mother renounced, under US law, her prior citizenhsip, when she was naturalized. In the eyes of the US Government, she is an American, not a dual national.

I'm not sure that's true (or the law may have changed in the interim)- I was naturalized in late 2006 and did not have to give up my existing citizenships. I am, legally, a citizen of the US, Canada and Serbia. US authorities are aware of this- whenever I cross the border into each country, when they scan either of my passports, the display shows the border agent that I hold both Canadian and US passports.

Some people through no actions of their own were born in a foreign country.

It defies credibility that such people would be barred from the Presidency...

I suppose so.

But Indonesia does not.

Another question is, was Barry ever an Indonesian? If you read "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" blog, you will see that represntatives of Obama bought up everything they could get their hands on during a visit to Indonesia in 2007. "Obama: Throwing Papua Under the Bus "
