>>>What if Obama was born in Kenya but his father is really Frank Marshall Davis. That makes both parents American citizens. He would be good to go...

Nationality of the parents doesn’t matter... where your born does. Also, changing nationality matters.
An American couple traveling overseas at time of birth disqualifies their child as a potential candidate for POTUS.
Changing nationality also disqualifies one for POTUS.

Nationality of both parents is an issue in determining citizenship status. From my understanding, when one parent is a foreign citizen, the 5 year/after 14 rule is required for the US citizen. If both parents were US citizens then the child is a US citizen no matter where they are born.
I understand this has nothing to do with the Indonesian adoption/citizenship.But if you can’t get attention about Obama being foreign born, it is going to be difficult to gain traction on dual citizenship issues.
To put it simply, I wish some journalist with an ounce of integrity would ask for official documentation as to what passport O used to go to Pakistan and if O was registered as a foreign student at Occidental. I find it very strange he had 2 Pakistani roomates. One I could understand, but to be at an American University and be an American freshman and be placed in a dorm room with 2 foreign students, I find a bit odd.
