He was adopted by an Indonesian man and lived in Indonesia. Did Obama go through the normal process of repatriation? Did he travel on a foreign passport? Did he claim foreign citizenship to gain entrance to college? Did he accept scholarships claiming to be a foreign student?None of these actions have any effect at all on an American's citizenship status.
Might raise some very good questions about integrity and so forth, but wouldn't affect legal status of citizenship.
Dual citizenship is not legally recognized by the US. I could acquire Mexican, Chinese, Zimbabwean and Peruvian citizenship, and it wouldn't change my status as a US citizen unless I specifically and legally renounced my US citizenship.

We have a friend who had dual citizenship with Switzerland, when he turned 18 he had to declare one or the other. I only know about this because of the hassle he had when he was trying to get his AF commission/clearances.

It's not about citizenship.
It's about eligibility.
Two separate issues.

Gee! I thought the president of our United States had to be **more** than a citizen. He must be a natural born citizen.

Your not saying an American can go get Mexican citizenship, and then run for US president and qualify as a NBC?
