Obama’s mother told the State Department she did not plan to return to the U.S. in 1967 on her passport renewal application.
The reason the State Department asks an applicant when they plan to return to the U.S. is to establish intent to return.
Furthermore, the reason the State Department asks an applicant if they or a family member has naturalized in a foreign state is to establish the fact they will not be stateless if a CLN is issued.
Obama’s mother could not have been issued a Certificate of Loss of Nationality because she would have been stateless if the SoS issued her a CLN. Obama’s mother amended her passport renewal to inform the State Department her son had naturalized in a foreign state.
It puts Obama in a precarious position because the SoS could issue him a CLN if a preponderance of the evidence indicated his actions could be determined to be a renouncement of citizenship.
In the WKA case, it was never established WKA was a citizen of another country. WKA would have been stateless if the U.S. did not recognize him as a citizen.
In the Elg case, it was never established Elg was a citizen of another country. Elg would have been stateless if the U.s. did not recognize her as a citizen. Elg’s father renounced his U.S. Citizenship after he returned to Sweden. He would not have been issued a CLN if he could not show he would obtain Swedish citizenship in the near term.
” Obama’s mother amended her passport renewal to inform the State Department her son had naturalized in a foreign state.”
Liar.
“It puts Obama in a precarious position because the SoS could issue him a CLN if a preponderance of the evidence indicated his actions could be determined to be a renouncement of citizenship.”
No. Obama could not lose his citizenship by being naturalized in a foreign country. It involves a lot more work than that, even as an adult.
You don’t get to make up rules.
“In the Elg case, it was never established Elg was a citizen of another country.”
By treaty, she became a Swedish citizen and the USA was required to recognize her as such 5 years after she arrived in Sweden. Again, you don’t get to make up facts.
