Other people have tried to make the argument that because Obama was, at one point, a dual citizen of the US and Kenya, he does not meet the Constitutional requirements for the Presidency (even though dual citizenship is perfectly legal under US law and the Constitution does not mention it as a bar to the Presidency).

Wrong. They argue that if he was a citizen of Indonesia, which many believe he was at one point, he had to have relinguished his US citizenship because INDONESIA didn't recognize dual citizenship at that time.

I have no idea what Indonesian law says on this issue. However, unless someone can show evidence that Obama renounced his US citizenship, his status under Indonesian law is completely irrelevant.
