Because a school document found in Indonesia in 2008, and the divorce records of Stanley Ann Soetoro in Hawaii, show that Lolo Soetoro adopted Barry as his son.
The original BC is sealed. The existing BC should be an adoption BC (Butterdezillion believes Obama amended it sometime before the election, 2008).
The school record lists Lolo Soetoro as Barry’s father; religion Muslim; citizenship Indonesian.
At the time Barry attended school in Indonesia, it was a dictatorship. Officials regularly went around to the schools to exam records and ensure only citizens attended public schools. (This information is from someone who lived in Indonesia at the time.) He could have dual citizenship until age 19.
Soebarkha “Barry” Soetoro (aka Barak H. Obama II) has an immigration file, one that is blocked on order of Obama himself, at Homeland Security.
Note: native born citizens do not have immigration records, period.
Something smells rotten.
Precisely. so far as Indonesia was concerned, Obama could've been a full-fledged Indonesian citizen.
But that would cut no ice regarding his American citizenship. At the time, we didn't recognize dual citizenship and -- if he was born in the USA -- he was an Ammerican citizen. He couldn't lose his American citizenship by virtue of being adopted and declared an Indonesian citizen as a minor.
The only relevant issue in this dispute is where he was born.
Indeed, even if he used an Indonesian passport to gain admission and scholarship funds from Occidental, I doubt that would negate his American citizenship.
It would constitute criminal fraud, however.
