Did Obama become an Indonesian citizen?

If so, he lost U.S. citizenship and with it his eligibility to the Office of President under U.S. Const. Art. II Sec. 1. The term "natural born citizen" subsumes "citizen". You can not be a natural born citizen if you are not a citizen at all, even though you were a natural born citizen at the time of your birth. The status of natural born citizen may be acquired only at birth, but may be lost thereafter by the loss of U.S. citizenship altogether.

Is it not true that rich U.S. space contracts are being thrown to Indonesian interests as pay-offs for covering up Obama's Indonesian citizenship?

Why is there no official investigation of Obama's citizenship status, as it bears directly on his eligibility? Private inquiries are inadequate. Subpoenae and sworn testimony are necessary. Not only the federal government should investigate. The states are charged with appointment of presidential electors (U.S. Const. Art. II Sec. 1); they should conduct exhaustive investigations into Obama's foreign citizenship and corrupt bargains to cover it up.
