Is there anyone asserting that O renounced his us citizenship? I haven’t found it, but it certainly could be out there.

i HAVE NOT CHECKED INTO THIS ASPECT AS YET ...
However, there is mention that he may have travelled on an Indonesian passport to India and Pakistan when he was 20 years old.
Indonesian passports had to be renewed every 5 years and I don’t know if travelling under same after the age of majority is an act of affirmation that renounces your citizenship ...
“Is there anyone asserting that O renounced his us citizenship? I haven’t found it, but it certainly could be out there.”
I haven’t heard of anyone that said he renounced his citizenship, however, you do bring up a good question. We do know that he traveled to Indonesia to visit his mother and then to Pakistan and India. It has been said that he must have traveled on an Indonesian or Kenyan passport and at least purported to be Muslim in order to enter Pakistan in 1981.
If he applied for an Indonesian or Kenyan passport as an adult so he could travel to Pakistan in 1981, does this mean that he revoked his natural born status? My question is that this would show divided loyalties, which is clearly what the founding fathers wanted to avoid.
I am not a lawyer, so perhaps someone with constitutional law experience could address this.
