Did Obama Become an Indonesian Citizen when His Mother, Ann Dunham, married Lolo Soetoro, and moved to Indonesia?
As outlined in more detail below, Mr. Philip A. Berg alleges, in his lawsuit against Obama, that Obama lost his US citizenship, by virtue of his mother’s marriage to Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian, and her subsequent relocation with Obama to Indonesia. (Note: Berg’s complaint has been dismissed, but he is appealing in both the Third Circuit and the Supreme Court. See here for current status of his appeals.) Because the facts – i.e., that Ms. Dunham married Mr. Soetoro, and that she moved Obama with her to Indonesia for a time – are not disputed, this post post evaluates the legal sources upon which Mr. Berg makes this claim.
