In fact, my daughter can become an officer in a foreign army or navy, and then return to the USA and run for president as a military veteran of a foreign country, and then march US soldiers into battle for the sole benefit her “Home Country”.

The constitution has been amended. Control of the US armed forces has devovled to a foreign citizen.

I hear ya. I too have a child who was born a citizen of this country and of another. Born a dual national. Presently, a holder of a U.S. passport and eligible to be a holder of a passport from that foreign country. Subject to being called up in the military of both, and (for) now...eligible to be President of both countries.

Interestingly, I also have an older child who is a naturalized citizen who...since taking the naturalization oath, renounced their former citizenship and therefor no longer eligible to hold a passport, vote or be subject to a military draft in that foreign country. YET, being (only) a U.S. citizen now, is NOT eligible to be the President of this country.

Amazing, the irony.

Oh yeah, I also have a 2 citizen parent, born in the U.S. natural born Citizen child as well :). I know...complicated.

If a dual national, who owes allegience to two countries, can be President...naturalized citizens should be eligible as well since they specifically renounced their former allegience. I don't agree with that, but that's the logical extension here.
