>The document lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen

That doesn't mean he's not an American citizen. A minor child can't renounce US citizenship, nor can a parent renounce it for him/her.

If he was born in the US, or born out of wedlock outside the US, he would get US citizenship from his US mother (assuming 1961 birth date is correct) according to US citizenship law and no other country can take that away. It would have been up to him to decide at 18, if he had a second citizenship that didn't allow dual citizenship, which one he wanted to keep and renounce the other.

Indonesia, in this case, can't determine US citizenship law. No dual citizenship arguments go awry because they don't consider that no dual citizenship cases apply to a citizen from a no dual citizenship country that takes on another citizenship. If an Indonesian, for example, took on a US citizenship, Indonesia requires that they denounce Indonesian citizenship. The US doesn't have a dual citizenship law.

Problem with this is Bottom left says Republic of Kenya, and date over signature reads 17 Feb 1964 but Republic of Kenya didn't come into existence until 12 Dec 1964. Could be forms were printed already, not sure.

Birth date is still Aug of 1961, so birth was during British Protectorate. British citizen from father and no US citizenship if father & mother were married since mother was too young (18) to transfer citizenship. In 1961 she would have needed 5 years of US residence after age 14.

So no US citizenship at all if parents were married, and not natural born, IMO, in any case.

Stamp and dates on form are are a problem here, though.
