There are questions about whether his citizenship, if he ever had it, was forfeited when he was adoped by his mother's second husband Mr. Sottero who was an Inonesian citizen.

There are no questions about that. There were no provisions under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 for a minor child to lose their US citizenship, whether through adoption or having been naturalized as a citizen in another country. Nor are there any such provisions under the current Immigration and Nationality Act (1986).

The questions only arose because Phil Berg never bothered to actually read the law, which directly contradicts the claims made in his lawsuit.

And since Indonesia did not allow for dual citizenship, there would not have been any way for Obama to have legally become an Indonesian citizen.

There are no questions about that.

I was paraphrasing arguments I had read on Free Republic and other sources. I was pretty sure that the courts wouldn't let the actions of a parent cause a child to lose his or her citizenship.
