Revision to citizenship law imposes more restrictions - Saturday, June 26, 2004
The citizenship law is designed to prevent apatride (stateless) or bipatride (dual citizenship). Indonesian regulations recognize neither apatride nor bipatride citizenship.
In an attempt to prevent dual citizenship, the draft revision includes new regulations.
A foreign child aged below 21 and unmarried, who is adopted by an Indonesian, will be eligible for Indonesian citizenship if the process does not cause dual citizenship.
Draft revision of citizenship law No. 62/1958
These laws were passed in 2004. The original one it amended was from 1958. Indonesia has never allowed dual citizenship.
There was also an "exit control" law in Pakistan in 1981. You may get in but leaving was not a sure thing.

1981 - Obama Visits Pakistan When All Non-Muslim Vistors Unwelcome - Bin Laden There, Too
Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin Laden (The Sheik).
Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business.
I am thoroughly convinced that Obama was adopted by Soetoro, since both he and his sister were referenced in the 1980 divorce filing. Obama lost his citizenship in the adoption process. Not as a result of American law, but Indonesian law. He could have applied for reinstatement of his US citizenship, for a period of 6 months after his eighteenth birthday. If he did, that document exists. If he didn't, he is still and Indonesian citizen and no document exists.
When Obama first went to Indonesia, he HAD to attended the Franciskus school because he was still a foreign national. He later attended Besuki Primary, a state school that was only available to citizens.
The documentation you have provided is terrific. As soon as I believe I can document my suspicions, I will publish to The Obama File - Latest News. I'll shoot you a FReepMail.
Indonesia has never had the power to grant or deny U.S. citizenship.
