1) Citizenship of other countries is irrelevant to US citizenship.

2) The problem is that Obama is not responsible for any decisions his parents/guardians made on his behalf with respect to citizenship. He continues to possess US citizenship by virtue of his birth, until and unless he renounced it as an adult.

Citizenship of other countries is irrelevant to US citizenship.

1) But we aren't talking US "Citizenship", now are we? Citizenship is NOT Natural Born Citizenship. There IS a difference, otherwise the same Constitutional requirement would apply to Senators today had the Framers not negotiated that out of the Constitution in summer 1787.

2) IF Obama used his Commonwealth, Kenyan or Indonesian credentials at Occidental or afterward, as it's suspected he did, YES — it will make a difference. Usage of a foreign country's passport CAN jeopardize US citizenship. Ann Dunham and Obama’s old INS records are still on request and forthcoming ...

I suspect, just like with ClimateGate, there's a bit more to the Obama story than the MSM "vetted" in the past.

Obama may or not be a "native born" citizen, as he claims on his website, Fight the Smears." Releasing his birth certificate would settle that issue.

But, he is not a "natural born" citizen as required by Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the United States Constitution, simply because, "at birth," Obama was a citizen of Kenya and a British subject -- a fact he also admits on the website cited above.
