That’s also incorrect for a variety of reasons. For starters, being a dual citizen wouldn’t disqualify you if you had native born American citizenship. The U.S. doesn’t punish dual citizenship.

Now, the reason why people hop onto Indonesia is that Indonesia does supposedly force you to renounce citizenship from other countries to have theirs.

Being a dual citizen =/= being a natural born citizen, which is required by our constitution to be president.

However, Obama was a minor when he was taken to Indonesia. Minors can't renounce their citizenship, nor can their parents renounce it on their behalf.

The Constitution requires that the President be a Natural Born Citizen, which is not the same as a native born one. The US doesn't punish dual citizenship, but it doesn't recognize it either.

Are those under 35 being punished by not being eligible to be President? What about those who have not lived in the US for 14 years?
