Clearly no “Certificates of Loss of Nationality to minors” could be issued by Rusk under a statute passed by Congress in 1968 at the time SvenMagnussen claims, which is after this decision.”
Another good find!
Besides, 0 was only 7 years old in 1968 so too young to relinquish on his own (needed to be 16), and mom or guardian couldn’t do it for him.

Obama had until 6 months after his 18th birthday realize the ramifications of being issued a Certificate of Loss of Nationality. Only a minor issued a Certificate Loss of Nationality can change their mind on the loss of U.S. Citizenship and recapture it by filing a a written request with the U.S. Embassy and presenting themselves before CAO to state an Oath of Allegiance.
Once a CLN is finalized for an adult, it’s permanent. For a minor,the CLN doesn’t become permanent until 6 months after their 18th birthday.
Keep the totality of the investigation in perspective. As an adult, Obama marketed himself in his book as an immigrant born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and America. Being an immigrant who came to America to make his fortune was good marketing for him until he began planning to run for President.
