This was discussed long ago. American law doesn’t care what the parents do ~ they can’t give up the chillun’s citizenship ~

That is not the relevant aspect of it. If Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, it would explain why there are so many shenanigans with his birth certificate. The original would have been sealed, and a new one would have been created.

If, in fact, there were any shenanigans at all.

The biggest problem was in his "kamp" refusing to show it at all ~

The original would have been sealed, and a new one would have been created.

Only if the adoption occurred in a U.S. court. An Indonesian adoption would cause no change to U.S. documents.

...and Obama would be proven to have forged both of the birth certificates he has presented, which makes him a felon, along with all the other jerkwads in our government who committed misprision of his felonies.

But why would he commit felonies rather than just say (as his sister allegedly did) that he had been adopted by Soetoro - especially if that adoption would not disqualify him from being eligible?

He may well have been adopted by Soeotoro, but I seriously doubt whether that explains the whole problem. Ultimately, the only credible reason for Obama to hide GENUINE official documentation from Hawaii is if there isn’t any that says he was born in Hawaii - which is what his friend, Neil Abercrombie, has already said.
