To B Dubya who wrote “I am petty sure Obama, as a minor child, was required to renounce his US citizenship to become an Indonesian citizen ”
Please read the U.S. State Department’s pages on citizenship. A minor child can’t renounce citizenship unless he convinces a consular official he understands the nature and consequences, and no parent or guardian can renounce on his behalf. To renounce, someone must be 18 years of age, and formally state they wish to renounce. It is unclear if Obama ever was really an Indonesian citizen, but at the age of 18 he would have lost it if he ever had it.
