You are a dissembler, a liar and a slight of hand artist and not very good at any of them.

The 3 Presidents you constantly cite in your idiotic posts were not born citizens of France they acquired honorary citizenship, that carried no weight of law should they find themselves in France.

In other words, had they been found guilty of treason and had an extradition treaty with the US, they would be extradited as they are not actual citizens.

If they were actual citizens then the treaty would not apply as they would be covered by the jurisdiction of France as citizens.

None of these fellows was given naturalized citizenship of France and I’ve yet to see proof they even received the honorary status of French citizenry.

Go pound sand.

They were citizens of France. We can argue about what that meant, but the fact is that they were legally citizens of France, while serving as United States Presidents.

As far as arguing about specifically what their particular citizenship meant, I doubt we would find terribly much in the way of information and precedent.

In fact, I think there is an excellent case to be made that someone who was made a citizen of a foreign country by an act of that nation's legislature AS AN ADULT had quite a bit more "allegiance" to that foreign country than someone who was assigned citizenship at birth as a baby, without ever having lived in the country or had any relationship with the people of that nation at all.

In any event, the Constitution does NOT say that dual citizens are disqualified from serving as President.

If the Constitution says what you claim it says, then North Korea could simply pass a law stating that all American citizens are North Korean citizens as well. Then nobody would be able to be elected President.

You state that I'm a "liar," yet you can't pinpoint a single "lie" I've ever told.

You state that my posts are "idiotic," yet it's YOUR theory that produces absurd results.

Not to mention its being completely against the entirety of our history and law.
