“Or...more plausibly....it’s possible that Hussein’s family,wanting to gain him recognition as a US citizen, planted a false announcement.”
But that goes out the window when sotero adopts little barry.
Barry wouldn’t have been allowed to go to school in Indonesia unless he was a citizen.
I don't think that matters.Due to a number of rulings by the SCOTUS in recent years it's very difficult for one to lose his/her US citizenship short of formally renouncing it before an official of the State Dept.It used to be fairly easy to lose it but not in the last 40-50 years.The Federal courts have,in recent years,upheld the concept of "dual citizenship" for US citizens,so being recognized by Indonesia as one of its citizens would not jeopardize his US citizenship.I could go on but I'll spare you the details.
