It doesn't appear that he has to be a current US Citizen, only that he lived here 14 years before being president.

"Indonesian law at the time also did not recognize dual citizenship, meaning if Obama became Indonesian, then as far as that country was concerned, his U.S. citizenship was no longer recognized by Indonesia. But U.S. law would still recognize Obama as an American citizen."

By international law, if one country recognizes dual citizenship, then it cannot be taken away.

You would not get consent from a 5 year old.

According to this the judge hasn't ordered anything.

Your parents cannot grant nor remove citizenship status from you in the US (dont' know how this works in other nations). If Indonesia didn't recognize dual citizenship status for a child, then IT would consider that child a citizen of only that nation. However Indonesia's laws don't apply to the US. To renounced US citizenship you have to be an adult. Your parents cannot renounce it for you.

That's how I understood it as well.


So now I'm confused - is the issue that the lawsuit wasn't dismissed, but there has no ruling on whether or not he has to produce documentation?
