I thought I read somewhere that Indonesia did not recognize dual citizenship and that to travel as an Indonesian citizen, after the age of majority, on an Indonesian passport, one would have had to renounce his American citizenship.
Anyway to look up what the requirements were for Americans traveling into Pakistan when Obama was traveling? I know there was alot of turmoil.

That could well be true.Some countries don't recognize/allow dual citizenship.And it's also possible that he was required to renounce his US citizenship before an official of the Indonesian government,by that government,in order to obtain Indonesian citizenship.But among the many rulings that the Federal courts (including the SCOTUS) have made on the subject of citizenship in the last 40+ years is that "renunciation" of one's US citizenship before an official of a *foreign* government has no bearing...does not affect in any way....that person's being recognized as a US citizen by the US Government.
