"Mr. Obama lived for 5 years in Indonesia, a country that does not recognize dual citizenship, therefore nullifying his American citizenship..."
So what if Indonesia doesn't recognize dual citizenship? Since when does living somewhere outside the U.S. mean you automatically forfeit U.S. citizenship? The only time his American citizenship would be nullified in a country that doesn't recognize dual citizenship would be if he became a citizen of that country. He lived there from age 6 to age 10.
"...IF it ever existed in the first place. There are no records on file where he ever applied for citizenship after returning to the US."
Right. Because he didn't have to. Because he didn't apply for Indonesian citizenship, & neither did his mother, & even if she had done this for him, he would likely have had the opportunity to have U.S. citizenship reinstated on reaching the age of majority.
