Since the story broke late Saturday that Barack Obama’s real Birth Certificate, now in Republican hands, has the name Barry Soetoro and not Barack Obama, as we predicted a couple of weeks ago, I notice that many people are still confused about the implications of dual citizenship for Obama.
The matter is somewhat complex, so I’ve decided to try to provide a summary, with the help of resident expert “Judah Benjamin.”
Indonesian Connection
Soetoro is the name on Obama’s Birth Certificate (BC) because a new BC was issued when he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, his step-father. His original BC, which we assume was issued for Barack Hussein Obama at birth, would have been sealed at the time of the adoption.
Barry Soetoro probably acquired Indonesian citizenship in approximately 1965-1966, and may still hold it. He possibly changed his legal name back to Barack Hussein Obama as an older child, teenager, or adult, possibly never did — but even if he did, this procedure would not result in a change to the BC. (If he never legally changed his name back, I imagine his current name on the Presidential ballot would be invalid.)
The Birth Certificate published by Obama on his campaign website (still there, by the way) and distributed to the media was forged because the real BC on file is in the name Soetoro, an identity he apparently wanted to hide from the American people.
I am getting reports from different sources that Obama traveled to Pakistan in ‘81 with an Indonesian passport.
Prior to 2007 (and possibly earlier), Indonesian law did not permit dual citizenship. Thus, if Obama actively kept his Indonesian citizenship, his US citizenship could be challenged.
I suspect that Obama may have dumped his Indonesian citizenship at some point along the way, to advance his political career. But I would not be shocked if he still holds it. This question, however, should not overshadow the serious problem of hiding his Indonesian identity from the electorate.
Kenyan Citizenship
I personally doubt that Obama holds Kenyan citizenship. If he did, he could be stripped of his US citizenship under US law.
Barack Hussein Obama probably was a citizen of the British Crown (first two years of his life) and, effective 1963, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of his father’s nationality.
Under the Constitution of Kenya, he would have automatically forfeited his citizenship at the age of 21 unless he affirmatively “claimed” it. If he took some action to keep his citizenship, that’s a big problem because 1) Kenya prohibits dual citizenship and 2) the US does not recognize dual citizenship with Kenya. Further under the Kenyan Constitution, given his circumstances, he could only have kept Kenyan Citizenship, if he had it, by means of a Ministerial, Prime Ministerial, or Presidential Decree. (Of course, Raila Odinga is Prime Minister of Kenya and Odinga’s father, Oginga Odinga, was Vice President of Kenya and Barack Hussein Obama, Sr, was a close ally of the older Odinga.)
If Obama retained his Kenyan citizenship and helped campaign for his cousin Odinga, that is especially problematic under Title 8 of the U.S. Code, the relevant language of which is:
a) A person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality—
(2) taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after having attained the age of eighteen years…
Again, I don’t think that Obama has Kenyan citizenship. I think that the Rocky Mountain report and Andy Martin’s work are poorly sourced on this point. I sometimes get the impression that Kenya serves as a diversion from the REAL PROBLEM, which is his Indonesian connection. It would be shocking to get actual confirmation of current Kenyan citizenship.
Electability & Eligibility Issues
These revelations raise several troubling issues for Obama’s electability and eligibility.
Foremost, there is the concerted attempt to cover up his Indonesian background and dual citizenship/identity from the electorate.
Secondly, there is a potential Constitutional problem with a POTUS having held dual citizenship, and Obama knows it; thus, the deception.
The “natural-born” clause of Article II is commonly understood to relate to the place of birth, but more accurately relates to loyalty to country as Commander in Chief. That was the original intent of the founding fathers. In McCain’s case, there is no question because of his circumstances (born on military base to 2 US citizens, later joined the military, never had anything to do with Panama, etc.). In Obama’s case, it’s not nearly so clear, especially given his travels, relatives, and associations in some of these other countries.
In my mind, however, the biggest problem is that Sen. Obama has intentionally concealed his background, Indonesian identity, citizenship, and the fact that he was at one time Muslim.
What else is he hiding?

One point you miss.
To be a United States Senator, you need nine years’ citizenship. If this was a big issue it would have been vetted back in 2004 when he was running for the Senate, or even vetted at the time he first registered to vote.
And now you’ve heard the whole story.

What is with all the fear? He’s an American citizen, and so what if he traveled the world with his mom when he was young, and so what if he dumped his Indonesian citizenship so he could run for president? He didn’t even have a choice to be an Indonesian citizen anyway, he was so young. I love the fact he’s a worldly guy and has lived a very colorful life. We need someone like that in the White House, as our nation isn’t all white and Christian.
Kelly, you are so immature. The fact that Obama is a worldly guy is because he lives off our taxes. He is rich, you and I are poor. We want someone to lead our country so we can have the freedom of liberty. Or otherwards, to have our choices be accountable, and not have him keep taking a higher percentage of our wages for his own gratification and power. Our country leaders are in our service, and should not have such high wages or they can not call it “service.” Our consitutiion is breaking down. It was written by Christians who acknowledge the Almighty God in it’s inspiring words. If our Constitution becomes altared, then we will become like the rest of the 3rd World Countries who are not Christians. Be ever grateful and prayerful to God for our great blessings. Our blessings are from Him, the Eternal Father in Heaven.
Here is the real problem, words mean things.
1. The words of the Constitution tell us how our nation is to be governed.
2. BHMO’s words don’t mean anything. To quote him, “just words, just speeches.” This man has sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and says that he loves America, yet he will not clear this matter up by simply supplying documents that he has in his possesion which prove that he is a natural-born U.S. citizen (UNLESS HE DOESN’T HAVE THEM BECAUSE THEY DON’T EXIST).
3. His refusal to provide documents to prove his natural-born status provides meaning to these words. “Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama is not a natural-born U.S. Citizen.)
4 Here are other words to consider which will mean something if BHMO is elected. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS!
The problem with Obama’s legal staus as a “natural born” citizen is that he must be one in order to become President.
When Obama went to Indonesia, he used an Indonesia passport. He did not use a US passport.
The question remains what country recognizes him as citizen and in what year. Then we know where to find out if he still is a “natural born” citzien.
Only natural born citizens can be a President. Anyone can become a US citizen.
There is a lawsuit filed against Barry Saetoro, aka, Barack Obama, by an attorney in Philadelphia. The 70 page lawsuit can be seen at http://www.obamacrimes.com. The lawsuit also names the Democratic Party as well as a few other key players.
If Obama “lost” his “natural-born” citizenship by becoming an “Indonesian” citizen. His current status would be something other than a “natural born” citizen, thus “ineligible” according to the US Constitution for the Presidency.
I agree Obama knows this and is hiding this fact. I’ve also read that his on Obama’s application to Occidental College, he lists his citizenship as “Indonesian” and his religion as “Muslim” going back to the issue of Trust.
As far as his Senate requirements, it would seem someone wasn’t paying attention to small details as closing as Obama was to cover up the truth.
The person that can find out the truth about this will go down in the history books! I hope someone has the resources to do it…
Let’s get to the bottom of this. If Kelly wants a worldly guy, does this mean that she is voting for McCain. The U.S. Senator that presently, personally knows every head of state in the world and has lived in 19 countries. (just last year he took a 2 week vacation in the Eastern Block country of Georgia, were Russia invaded this past Sept. and spent considerable time with the President) If worldlyiness is her barometer than I suppose McCain is her man. After all he was born on our US base in Panama.
And the truth shall you set you free.

Thank You anne! I had been thinking the same things that you posted. McCain was born in Panama, and had to prove his citizenship prior to being eligable for the presidency! If he is so proud of being an american then he needs to step up show us his PRIDE in some form or fassion…… I mean hey if someone was questioning my patronage. I would be to the front of the line to prove them wrong. When I enrolled my children in schools, I had to provide a Birth Certificate, and other document, even to obtain a drivers license. Its time to put up or shut up Mr Obama. Show us the Proof “Mr Obama”! I think the most daming thing about this entire situation is that the Democratic Party has not had him meet the most minimum requirements. Its my understanding there are other documents required by the party that he has failed to provied to even his own party…
An individual born in the territory of the USA is a natural born citizen from birth, and shall remain so continuously for ever, unless (i) he is stripped of the US citizenship by a qualified judge, usually upon being convicted of treason or other high crimes against the USA; or (ii) he resigns USA citizenship himself. Acquisition of a foreign nationality is not grounds for involuntary loss of citizenship, regardless of the other country’s naturalisation laws, because the USA, since time immemorial, does not recognise the “additional” citizenship/s: legally they do not exist. The documents that BO holds contain probably numerous “irregularities” as to name and citizenship; legally irrelevant to his candidacy; but they will look like smoking guns in the lay person’s mind (as well as in the mind of misinformed, prematurely aged, lawyers). I would stall too: if lawyers talk nonsense, imagine what the general population will not think. Guaranteed. On another note, Muslims do NOT mock the Judeo-Christian Bible, quite the contrary: it is for them as sacred as the Quran, in a sense even more fundamental as revelation. By the way, I am non-religious, and do not care all that much who gets elected: both candidates are good enough, will be keen on bi-partisanship, and will probably hire well.
It is not at all implausible for the one-way trip to have taken place, e.g., if the father wanted to ensure natural Kenyan citizenship for his son; and then (say, a couple of weeks later) a Hawaiian fraudulent registration for a kid born home (birth not professionally assisted) be made by one parent, or both, on their own reconnaissance. It is perfectly possible to make the fraudulent registration stick, and the challenge to fail, even though it has full merit.
All the stuff about Indonesia is pure noise. The only relevance I can see is a pledge of allegiance relative to the acquisition of a second nationality, or in school, etc. I would be surprised if this has ever been enforced. The strongest reasons are needed to strip USA citizenship. It is hardly ever done. The law requires the pledge to be made after BO attained 18 years of age. He had far better things to do by then, and he is far too smart not to have realised the foolishness of doing such a thing publicly.
Paul Blackman, you miss the point. Being a citizen of the US is different from being a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
Tom Lantos was a legally a Congressman for years, but he could not have been President, as he was not born in the US.
Honestly, what is going on. Absolutely nobody is even touching this story! When is this all going to come out? We only have 2 weeks until the election. I just called the Sec. of State requesting Texas remove Obama from the ballot. Please do the same for your states.
It seems to me that if McCain only scanned a fuzzy copy of his birth certificate to some website that he controls or are controlled by his supporters, the media would be blasting it. However he proved beyond all doubt that he is in fact a natural born citizen and Obama still refuses to do the same. Its understandable to me now why Obama wont recite the pledge of allegiance. Perhaps his allegiance isn’t to this country.
I not believe that the media is not covering this citizenship issue!
I can’t believe that government election officials are not following this up!
And most of all I am SHOCKED that so many people are still willing to support Obama when you add all of the following thing up:
Rezko Land Deal
Rev.Wright
Former Muslim
Probably natural born citizenship issues
Ayers
Acorn
Michelle Obama
and what else???????
Any one of these things along would destroy most other political careers.
Obama probably could not pass security checks to become Secret service and guard a US president!!!!!!
Patty Locke, I also cannot believe this is not in the media after all the attention “Trooper Gate” got and that didn’t even go to court!!
Obama could have made this law suit go away by simply sending a copy of his US Birth Certificate, instead he filed a motion to try and dismiss the claims against him, seems like a lot more work then simply sending a requested copy of a document right?
This should send out some alarm bells to people, what is he trying to hide from us? Regardless if you like or dislike the guy he is applying for a job here and we the people deserve the truth before making a decision!
so far we have dishonesy in
1 His actual name
2 Place of birth
3 citizenship
This dishonesty has been drug along for months. He could come clean and be the clean articulate ONE Joe at one point said he as.
I have to agree with out a doubt the media has been ignoring these issues…it is as tho they have something to gain after he wins….or he has bought off the media We have cover ups every day..
Most politicians would have been ruined by now if they pulled what Obama has pulled…I don’t understand this…something better happen FAST…
We just may have an illegal president – I think right now the whole world is laughing at us and the way this election is going…
If it smells fishy it usually is!! Too many things lied about.. IMO…
OK, here’s a thought. You know how Congress voted down the first bailout because of the complaints from their constitutes back home. It appears the Congress still listens to “MASS COMPLAINTS”. Can someone in here ORGANIZE such a movement TO FORCE Congress to demand ALL OF Obama’s records?
These are a few facts from the Obama files:
(you can read more on the website //theobamafile.com)
From a detailed analysis of the image and the text of the Obama’s birth certificate done by several experts, it looks like this certificate is not a true copy of an original, certified document. There is nothing in this copy to indicate that it is, in fact, a “certified copy.” There is a whole lot of evidence that it is a manufactured copy. There certainly is a very strong motive for creating one.
When Obama was in high school, he found a family stash of birth certificates and old vaccination forms. Why, then, is Obama releasing a bogus “Certificate of Live Birth” instead of the “Birth Certificate” he found as a child?
Unless the voting public is given a real birth certificate to examine, the question of Barack’s birth is still up in the air.
For those who have not followed this story, Soetoro is the name on Obama’s Birth Certificate (BC) because a new BC was issued when he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, his step-father. His original BC, which we assume was issued for Barack Hussein Obama at birth, would have been sealed at that time.
The Birth Certificate published by Obama on his campaign website (still there, by the way) and distributed to the media was forged because the real BC on file is in the name Soetoro, an identity he apparently wanted to hide from the American people.
Obama won’t release his birth certificate and he won’t release his passport. Obama also won’t release his SAT scores or his college transcripts, or his thesis, or his client list, or his Illinois senate records. The Last Word on Obama’s “Certificate of Live Birth” — Yes! It’s bogus.
What do YOU really know about this guy?
So the Hawaii newspaper from August 1961 showing Obama’s birth notice, on microfilm in hundreds of libraries, have all been switched out with faked versions? States have been converting their birth and death records to electronic forms for the past 30 years or so. The original documents are then shredded or burned. Go to your bureau of public records and ask for a copy of your original birth certificate..they will laugh at you.
I am a Australian citizen, not one of the united states but i have discussed this issue with several friends of mine who are and feel i must respond to Franks comment.
There, as here, one presumably needs such a copy of there birth certificate for passport, drivers lisence and i’d expect voters registration, though i’m not entirely sure on that one. So even if only available electronicly, reciving a hard copy is not only possible but still entirely necissary.
It should there for, not be to hard for Mr Obama to lay his hands on a copy provided he has a american passport/drivers lisence/registered voter. Come to think of it, a law requiring all those who wish to enter as presidential candidates to first provide there birth certificate, and the certificate to be made available to the general public, wouldn’t be to intrusive or hard to put through and would presumably nip this crap in the bud.
An uncertified birth certificate is worthless; you can’t even get a social security number without the certfiied one. As a resident of Illinois, I know that Obama was in no way vetted or challenged during the Senate race.
A birth notice is nice–I haven’t seen this alleged document, however–but it won’t be accepted by the State Dept passport office or anyone else as proof of birth.
If Obama was born in Hawaii, he should be able to produce a certfied copy with no effort at all–it is highly suspicious that he hasn’t.

http://forums.hannity.com/showthread.php?t=1077231
Over the last few months there has been a small, but growing, group of people dearly hoping to eliminate Barrak Obama as a presidential candidate due to questions concerning is citizenship status. In my opinion this is a non-issue as the Technical Knock Out (TKO) that many are hoping for will never happen. Why? Well read below and I’ll explain why. There are two separate questions on the table: (a) the legal requirements, and (b) the political influence of information on voters. Realistically speaking information which may have no relevance legally can of course have a huge impact on voter perceptions and therefore impact the results of the election. This post addresses Obama’s legal eligibility.
If we are going to defeat Obama we need to do it based on the issues and not based on some trickery of the law. We need to vote against Obama because his tax plan is bad for America. We need to vote against Obama because socialized medicine is bad for America. We need to vote against Obama because he lacks the experience to lead the greatest nation on Earth. We need to vote against Obama because his past associations show a lack of understanding of what America is truly about. Voting the candidate is something we do in the primaries trying to get our candidate into the final election, however, when it comes to the General Election we have to put sour grapes aside and decide to cast our vote based on what’s best for our country. While I disagree with McCain on certain issues, hands down he is the better candidate to lead this country for the next four years. His economic policies will be better for America then Obama’s, his leadership and moral courage are without a doubt better then Obama’s.
Constitutionally speaking there are only three requirements, (well actually four if you also read the 14th Amendment, but that would be an even tougher challenge then trying for a TKO on citizenship). Those requirements as per Article II are:
A Natural Born Citizen,
35 Years of Age,
14 Years a Resident
Now over the last few months we’ve seen multiple lawsuits challenging Obama’s technical eligibility to serve under the law based on his status as either a Natural Born Citizen or not. The Constitution, while listing it as one of the eligibility requirements, does not define what that phrase means. Does it mean you have to be born on United States soil, or, does it mean you have to derive citizenship based on birth (i.e. not a naturalized citizen). So far those challenges have been dismissed based on lack of standing, just as for fairness, was the legal challenge to Senator McCain’s eligibility. I’m disappointed on these dismissals as I truly feel there should be some mechanism in place to legally vet a candidate for public office, however it appears that will have to wait until after the election. The thrust of these challenges have been centered on a few primary possible points:
Possible Dual Citizenship
Indonesian Citizenship (by Adoption)
Born in Kenya
What does that law say about each of these possible challenges to Obama’s legal eligibility to serve in the Office of President of the United States?
Let’s review.
Possible Dual Citizenship
Some have claimed that you cannot be a citizen of the United States and hold citizenship in another country. This is not the case. In the case of Mandoli v. Acheson (1952) the United States Supreme Court clearly demonstrates that US Citizens can hold citizenship in another country and by holding such citizenship do not relinquish their rights as a United States Citizen and to relinquish citizenship requires positive action after the age of maturity.
http://supreme.justia.com/us/344/133/case.html
Indonesian Citizenship (by Adoption)
The claim is that Obama lost his United States citizenship when adopted in Indonesia. However, no adoption records have been presented, only a school registration slip listing his citizenship as Indonesian. I hate to point out, but school records are not adoption proceeding, they are applications filled out by parents trying to get their kids into school. Might he have been adopted? Maybe, maybe not – but a school registration is not proof.
But actually that whole discussion, while it might impact voters, is irrelevant to his constitutional eligibility as US Citizenship is determined by US law and not by Indonesian Law. Indonesia’s view of his dual citizenship status does not change in anyway the view of the United States’ view of his citizenship status. Under United States Law the parents of a minor child cannot relinquish the US Citizenship of that child prior to the age of 21 (law at the time) as per the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 or prior to 18 years of age (current law) per the United States Code Title 8 Section 1401. Since Obama never relinquished his citizenship after the age of maturity, and his parents could not have relinquished it for him as a minor, then he never lost his citizenship status so no naturalization or oath of allegiance would have been required.
Section 349 (a) From and after the effective date of this Act
a person who is a national of the United States whether
by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by —
(1) obtaining naturalization in a foreign state upon his
own application, upon an application filed in his behalf
by a parent, or duly authorized agent, or through the
naturalization of a parent having legal custody of such
person: Provided, That nationality shall not be lost
by any person under this section as a result of the
naturalization of a parent or parents while such a person
is under the age of twenty-one years, or as the result of
naturalization obtained on behalf of a person under
twenty-one years of age by a parent, guardian,
or duly authorized agent, unless such person shall fail to
enter the United States to establish a permanent residence
prior to his twenty-fifth birthday: ….(LINK)
Born in Kenya
The final legal challenge is based on the idea that Obama was born in Kenya and his mother then flew to Hawaii to register the birth. This is the issue which generates all the discussion about his birth certificate. The perception is that the law of at the time (Immunization and Nationality Act of 1952) required that a person born to a couple where one was a US Citizen (Stanley Ann Dunham) and the other an Alien (Barrak Obama Sr, Kenyan) – that the US Citizen had to have been a citizen for 10 years, 5 of which were after the age of 14 to be able to pass citizenship to an offspring by birth. Current law as contained in USC Title 8 Section 1401 (paragraph g) states that to pass citizenship in this case the parent need only have been a citizen for 5-years two of which were after the age of 14.
But you say the law from 1952 is applicable, not the current law? Not quite.
This now appears to be incorrect as in 1994 Public Law 103-416 was passed which is the Immigration and Nationality Technical Corrections Act of 1994. This law makes current immigration law applicable retroactive to Obama’s birth in 1961. As such it does not matter if Obama was born in Kenya or in Hawaii as he would have been a citizen by birth either way. By his mother’s status if born in Kenya and by his location if born in Hawaii.
UNITED STATE CODE
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER III > Part I > § 1401
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years… (LINK)

God bless the USA.
To swtchr
I assume that you notice that the article you quote completely ignores my argument. In fact it acts as if my argument has not been put foward at all. The reason for this is simple, there exists a considerable body of Legal opinion which holds that the argument I advance is correct and always has been. It also ignores the fact that Obama has admitted to Dual Citizenship from birth in writing. In short this article is both slanted and irrelevant. Since I have not made the claims in this article and neither has TD I really can’t see why you are posting it.
Be very clear, if he was born in Kenya, under the law existing at the time of his birth, or today, he could only be a US Citizen by Naturalization. However neither TD, nor myself believe he was born in Kenya. The Public Law 103-416 clauses which are ex-post facto and therefore Unconstitutional, and have been ruled to be so, to the best of my knowledge and belief, cannot be applied and are not. It has however no relevance to my argument whatsoever.
Finally, the writer of this article is, or professes to be ignorant of the fact that there is a perfectly good definition of the meaning of the term Natural Born Citizen as used in Article II of the Constitution and it would rule out the possibility of a Dual National being Natural Born by Status.
To Texas Darling:
You need to take a look at the administrative standards published by the US Department of State. These indicate that it is almost impossible (aside from serving in the armed forces of a country that is involved in hostilities w/ the US or treason) to lose as a dual citizen or non-dual citizen US citizenship, as the intention is missing!
