What people are forgetting is when Maya was born in 1970 In Indonesia is the fact that her mother was working at the U.S. Embassy and could have simply registered Maya’s birth at the Embassy on the advice of people who worked there which would be enough to apply for a certification of live birth from Hawaii. Remember that Ann and Maya returned to Hawaii in 1972 so she could complete her M.A., but Ann was also in Hawaii in 1971 when Obama Sr. visted for the month.

OK, but if she was born in 1970, in Indonesia, of an Indonesian father, Maya would be Indonesian. Did she give up her Indonesian citizenship to become an American?
