Re ... What;s your point???

I like to post information related to the topic of the thread. Why does that offend you?

Assume we accept everything you say (I haven't investigated it, so I'll do so). If Obama obtained an Indonesian passport at any time, and Indonesia does not accept dual citizenship, then he must perforce have been naturalized as an Indonesian citizen. The US statutes you refer to state:

"Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481), as amended, states that U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain specified acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Briefly stated, these acts include:

1. obtaining naturalization in a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (1) INA);
2. taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration to a foreign state or its political subdivisions (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA);"

The acceptance of an Indonesian passport is prima facie evidence for the relinquishment of US citizenship.
