You raise a number of issues. I’ll just speak to one. He is listed in written school records as Barry Soetoro, a Muslim and an Indonesian citizen. At that time, Indonesians were not allowed to hold dual citizenship. And no one but Indonesian citizens were allowed to attend those schools.

If neither Obama nor his parents re-applied for American citizenship after that, then he is not an American citizen at all, let alone natural born. He is an Indonesian citizen. He could have applied to be reinstated, but I don’t believe that he did.

There are, of course, many other problems surrounding this issue. We don’t know for sure without records and written evidence, but the probabilities are pretty high that he is not an American AT ALL.

Wish it were that simple but it's not.

Alas, American law doesn't care what citizenship the parents claimed, nor what the laws of Indonesia say about their children.

There's meat on the bones but you keep nibbling on the cartilege.

Your post bears repeating in it's entirety.

Thank you for posting this information. It has been around since April 2008, but few are aware or its existence.

In an aside, Stanley Anne Dunham Obama Soetoro, the President’s mother, repudiated her U.S. citizenship and became an Indonesian citizen when she married Lolo Soetoro in the early 1960’s.
