A foreign citizen can apply to become an Indonesian citizen with the following requirements:

- being the age of 18 years or older, or being married
- when applying, having resided in Indonesian for a minimum of 5 consecutive years or 10 non consecutive years
- physically and mentally healthy
- can speak the Indonesian language and acknowledge Pancasila and Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945
- never convicted of a crime for which the punishment is imprisonment for one year or more
- if having Indonesian citizenship will not give the person dual citizenship
- employed or have fixed income
- pay the citizenship fee

Indonesian nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



there is no ban on foreign students attending school in indonesia. birthers confuse the indonesian law that all indonesian children must be allowed access to school with a foreign student ban.



and it's just that, a baseless rumor. there has never ben a US travel ban on pakistan. here is a NYT travel article on pakistan from the year in question, 1981:

LAHORE, A SURVIVOR WITH A BITTERSWEET HISTORY - NYTimes.com



this theory is based on an april fool's day prank taken seriously:

snopes.com: Obama's Occidental College Records / Meet the Soetoros

and is contradicted by multiple newspaper articles during his time at harvard that list obama as "hawaiian born":

First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review - NYTimes.com

Barack Obama, Harvard Law Review editor, March 19, 1990 - latimes.com



sure we can. unless we're making assumptions based on false internet rumors and april fool's day pranks.



none of his records are "closed". they are private records and are protected under the same laws that protect yours and mine.



you'd have a lot better chance at that goal if you weren't perpetuating false internet rumors.
You know, don't you, that, no matter how intelligent and thought provoking your answer is, it will not make one iota of difference to the birther loons.

This crap has been plowed under by common sense more than once, only to bob to the surface like poop in a pool.

Just do what the rest of us do, point and laugh, and feel free to ridicule your heart out.

i know, but that's what i find so fascinating about birtherism and the depths of cognitive dissonance.

NCN is a great example of this. two of her main points, indonesian citizenship and pakistan travel ban, can be easily and conclusively debunked with the simplest of web-searches without the need of any subjective assumption or speculation and yet............ these two rumors have persisted for the past 4 years!

truly fascinating.

It is well put together for the average person to understand and many readers will see it. The truth is out now since the confirmed forged birth record made available on the White House server indicates that Mr. Obama's true citizenship is now in question since he has no valid legal birth document to rely on. As Maricopa County Sheriff Department CCP Investigator Mike Zullo said "It's time for this charade to stop". I agree. Obama needs to release his 50 year old original paper birth record and microfilm of it so a attestation can be performed by independent forensic document experts. That is the only way this can be cleared up. As of now, this ad will invoke scrutiny against the president who claimed he would be the most transparent president in history.

See the Washington Times expo here:

Jesus Christ is probably offended that you use his name in vain, particularly to spread drivel.

NAW, He has a sense of humor, just like His Dad.

They are probably up there laughing their devine butts off at what we humans think is important.

i've always imagined that if the heavens opened up and god came forth and proclaimed "yep, obama was born in hawaii." the birthers would counter with "obviously that's A god but how do we know it's THE God?"
