Unless it affects his allegiance and his citizenship status, as in renouncing his citizenship and not ever reclaiming it.

Minor children, least of all those of such a young age as Obama was while in Indonesia, cannot renounce their citizenship. Nor can they have their citizenship renounced by a parent. The only person who can renounce one's citizenship is oneself.

This is a flat out lie!

Only a parent can do anything legally for a minor; that is the maening of "minor."

It is my understanding that Indonesian law does not permit dual citizenship. Therefore, by Indonesian law, to become an Indonesian citizen, one must renounce one’s non-Indonesian citizenship, if any.
