[Mr Rogers]

It isn’t MY opinion. The US Supreme Court has ruled that the actions of the parent cannot remove the citizenship one acquires by birth in the US.

Read the case this thread is posting...”3. A citizen by birth retains his United States citizenship unless deprived of it through the operation of a treaty or congressional enactment or by his voluntary action in conformity with applicable legal principles. P. 307 U. S. 329.”

Apuzzo doesn’t get a vote.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that the actions of the parent cannot remove the citizenship one acquires by birth in the US.

Correctamundo!

The United States will not strip citizenship from an American citizen because of the action of others, including a child's parents.

That's why a child, adopted by a foreign national has the right to reaffirm his/her American citizenship. That right must be exercised in the six month period immediately following the 18th birthday.

If Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, and neglected to file the appropriate paperwork in 1979, he's still an Indonesian citizen.
