He has held, and maybe still does hold, Indonesian citizenship which also makes him ineligible for holding the Office of President. Can’t have dual citizenship and run for President.
Legally, there is no prohibition, but it would be a killer politically. Many Americans hold dual citizenship.<<<<<<<<<<<
This is inaccurate. The Constitution does not allow mixed loyalties either.
More importantly, since he held an Indonesian Citizenship he would have forfeited his US Citizenship because prior to 2007 Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship. We know Obama did not retake his US Citizenship at least until he was 20 since he was in possession of an Indonesian Passport.
I guess that he maintained his US Passport fraudulently; using it to return to the US. Eventually he just discontinued using his Indonesian Citizenship. He may STILL be a citizen there.
He is NOT a citizen here if he did not reaffirm his citizenship. I’m not even certain that he could reaffirm or if he would then be considered naturalized.
The trip to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport at 20 years of age is the act that is going to sink him. Screw the legal argument, Joe Blow is not going to elect a guy who considered himself and Indonesian Muslim while he was in college. Obama has lied. That is the big problem. He lied about his aliases, he lied about his citizenship, he has lied about a lot of things.
Edwards just lied about an affair, you think lying about your citizenship is going to be less damaging?
Cite specifically where the Constitution prohibits dual citizenship as a precondition for being President. You won't find it.

What proof do you have that Obama held Indonesian citizenship or an Indonesian passport? This is more conjecture and speculation.

The US doesn't care if held dual citizenship as long as such citizenship does not require one to renounce their American citizenship. Indonesia does not recognize dual citizenship except for children under 18 and that law was just implemented. Again, more speculation but short on facts. Prove that Obama held Indonesian citizenship and that he had an Indonesian passport. Asserting something doesn't make it so.
FYI: In order for Obama to hold a US passport, he had to provide proof of US citizenship, i.e., Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state or Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth or Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship. If you don't have those, then you must provide AND as many of the following as possible: Baptismal certificate, Hospital birth certificate, Census record, Early school record,Family bible record, and Doctor's record of post-natal care.

Prove it. We do know that Obama has an American passport. How did he get it?
