Barry Soetoro was the name Barack Hussein Obama was registered as at an Indonesian grade school for four years. Not only that but his registration form at that school, showing his name as Barry Soetoro, is the most recent official document of any type in the public domain (except for his current passport which was issued after he became POTUS) showing what name he was going by. Even if what you say is true, and no one has yet to be able to show any proof of that, punishing a grown man for what his parents did is wrong. Now, according to US law, a child cannot relinquish his US citizenship. F. RENUNCIATION FOR MINOR CHILDREN Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under Section 349(a)(5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation, is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship. http://www.travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_776.html Obama returned to Hawaii at the age of 10. There is no way he could have renounced his citizenship, and his parents legally could not do so on his behalf. Also, having dual citizenship does not make one ineligible for President. DUAL NATIONALITY Dual nationality can occur as the result of a variety of circumstances. The automatic acquisition or retention of a foreign nationality, acquired, for example, by birth in a foreign country or through an alien parent, does not affect U.S. citizenship. http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_778.html Now, why dont you birther fellas read up a bit on the legalities of what you talk about. Here is a starting point. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/occidental.asp
