Heres my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? Im betting not.
Good bet, Wayne.
Obama's mother notified the US State Department her son, Barack Hussein Obama, had naturalized in a foreign state when he renewed her passport in 1967. The US Secretary of State issued BHO a Certificate of Loss of Nationality based on Stanley Anne's declaration on her passport renewal application.
Obama could have recovered his US Citizenship by submitting a form and taking an oath of allegiance to the U.S. until 6 months after his 18th birthday. For whatever reason, Obama chose to recover his U.S. Citizenship through the naturalization process in 1983. Obama is not eligible to be POTUS because he's a naturalized citizen.

Uncle Sam allows for its citizens to have multiple nationalities. Even in countries that don't allow it, most people hang on to their other nationalities as a kind of escape hatch. Many children of foreign dictators are American citizens via large investments or the fact that they were born on US soil. Stanley Ann Dunham was the complete opposite of a straight arrow. The odds that this radical groupie would even try to give up her son's American citizenship (which in fact only he can give up upon reaching his majority) are pretty low, especially when you consider that his American papers would be extremely useful for worming his way into the American power structure in ways that a foreigner could not.
