Abstract

This study examines the legal implications of citizenship status in relation to the legality of public office in Indonesia through the case involving Arcandra Tahar. The controversy emerged after he was appointed as a minister and later found to have obtained foreign citizenship, raising questions about the validity of his appointment and the administrative decisions issued during his tenure. The objective of this research is to analyze how the principle of single citizenship affects the eligibility of public officials and how administrative law responds when such requirements are not fulfilled. This research uses a normative juridical method by examining constitutional principles, legal doctrines on citizenship, and administrative law concepts concerning the validity of state administrative decisions. The findings indicate that the acquisition of foreign citizenship may automatically affect an individual’s legal status as a citizen, which in turn may create a substantive defect in the appointment of a public official. The government’s response through administrative correction and the restoration of citizenship status demonstrates the effort to maintain legal certainty while ensuring the protection of individual rights. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated analysis of citizenship law and administrative law in assessing the legality of public office. The study also highlights the importance of more comprehensive verification procedures in the appointment of public officials to prevent similar disputes in the future.
