Seems our laws don't allow you to give it up. Doesn't matter what Indonesia's laws do, they don't trump (a pun eh) our laws!
So, under that scenario Obama didn't have to re-imigrate.
We've had some Freepers knowledgeable in this situation who've explained in detail how you assert your citizenship ~ so I'll leave it at that.
Yes, I have seen the issues of ‘losing citizenship’ and agree it is not something that happens ‘automatically’ or ‘easily’ as people have indicated.
But here is the kicker. What if he INTENTIONALLY cast himself as foreign national after the age of 18? Now, you did not just ‘lose’ it. You leveraged it. If you take actions to utilize your foreign national status or to deny your US Citizenship - while you are in the US - you have now opened the door (or closed the door) to US citizenship - voluntarily, as an adult.
When in the US you must present yourself as a US citizen, even if you have valid dual citizenship. Which everyone says he had with Kenya. He likely had it with Indonesia. And it is possible that he even still has rights to British citizenship.
This is where the ‘real’ problem is. I am not personally a big fan of the out of Kenya story. I think it was adopted story by him to tie him to his drunken biological father and give him roots and background. He relished being a Kenyan, till it got in the way of being President. But really born there? Logistically - it seems a stretch. But who knows with all this smoke and mirrors. But this is creating enough smoke to keep the eyes off the issue that would be one without debate - using foreign national status for gain in college.
It was interesting and tell that when Trump was told they presented the LFBC his first words were - now where are the college records?
Lets see what happens...the fat lady is nowhere to be seen...there is some drama coming!
