He was registered in his school in Indonesia as an Indonesian citizen. From what I can determine, a child who was a citizen of another country but had an American parent (and thus potentially had dual nationality, if it was one of the countries with which the US had this agreement at the time), would have to declare this when he was 18 and renounce the other citizenship. He doesn’t ever appear to have done so, and there’s some suggestion that he travelled on an Indonesian passport when he went to Pakistan in the 1980s. It’s complex, the law has changed several times since then, and I don’t know if it’s really worth looking into.
HUH???

I don’t care how “complex” it is. I WANT IT LOOKED INTO.
I had to provide a birth cert to get a new bank account.
I had to provide a birth cert to get a new drivers license.
I would have to provide a birth cert to get a passport.
There are any number of other situations in which I would have to produce MY birth cert.
I am an ordinary bookkeeper.
I am NOT running for any political office, much less President of the USA.
Why should anyone think it’s ok to give Nobama (Dunham) (Sotero) whatever a pass on this topic?
It is ludicrous to even think of not wanting him to prove his birthplace and thus his eligibility.
The fact that he hasn’t come forward with a decent valid copy, with backup data at the hospital where the birth alledgely took place tells me there is more than a little smoke or small fire here.
I think it is a very big fire.
