False. the laws only pertain to birth overseas and he was born in Hawaii; see above.

Not according to the multiple experienced attorneys and trained US diplomats I've asked about this question. I'm pretty sure they know more about this than you do.

Since natural-born citizenship can only be affirmatively renounced (see Perkins v Elg) the college records are not relevent.

It's hard for me to imagine a more affirmative renouncement of citizenship than to receive aid as a foreign student or to obtain a passport of a foreign power claiming citizenship in that country.

Er, what ?

The Citizenship Act of 1986 seems quite clear on these points.

If a foreign passport was issued to him it does not mean that he has renounced US citizenship. One must also get the State Department to issue a statement to that effect.

And there isn’t any evidence of this at all. And of course you cannot ask for proof of the non-existence of a foreign passport.
