(1)If one is indeed a Natural Born Citizen, adoption cannot remove that status, period. Indeed, adoption cannot remove any kind of American citizenship, because it can always be reclaimed at majority.

This simply isn't true. Adoption CAN remove U.S. citizen. It's why the State Department warns about adoption to non-Hague convention countries ... because they cannot protects the citizenship of outbound adoptions. Further, the Supreme Court has on several occasions that the citizenship of the child naturally follows the condition of the father. Per the divorce records, Lolo Soetoro was still Obama's legal father up till 1980, when Obama reached majority. Unless Obama naturalized at some point, he was naturally an Indonesian citizen.

Codswallop and balderdash.

If a minor child who is an American citizen is taken to another country and naturalized there, given a passport, enrolled in that country's schools, takes oaths to that nation, sings its funky national anthem in the native tongue every frickin' schoolday, and is send to a madrassa run by a fire-breathing Imam, etc. ad inf. et naus., that kid may return to American citizenship by simply asking for it as he reaches his majority. Or, if his mom sends him home to Hawaii after she breaks up with her latest commie stooge.

In short, fellow Freeper, if an American kid wants his USA Citizenship back, he gets it back. This whole Indonesian fandango is a blind alley, probably paid for by Soros to lead us astray. Misdirection. Legerdemain. Look here, NOT there!

Barack Hussein Obama is ineligible to have run for President because both of his parents were not American citizens, not because he was cared for by a tranvestite gay nanny in Indonesia. He wouldn't be an NBC even if Stanley Ann dropped her foal while sliding into home plate at Dodger Stadium of the 4th of July with the Marine Band playing 'Stars and Stripes Forever.'

Stay focused.
