Barack Obama is a citizen of only the United States, and has never held another citizenship instead or in addition to United States citizenship. He never held Indonesian citizneship and thus never gave it up. Just as Americans living in France or Germany continue to be American citizens while they live there, Mr. Obama remained an American citizen while he lived in Indonesia.
