“In my understanding Article II Requires that one be a Natural Born Citizen, and in terms of the Law as understood by the Framers, anyone with Dual Citizenship could not be Natural Born. It does not matter that they no longer hold that Citizenship, they fall into the same bracket as a Naturalized Citizen because they have/had Divided Allegiance. That is my view and I havent moved an inch on it.”

I agree with you. However, the Constitution is silent of the matter. As I said in my earlier post, the concept of dual-citizenship would have been ludicrous to the 18th century mind.
Your reasoning in your argument about the founders’ intentions is impeccable and is, of course, common sense. Yet you know very well that common sense is rarely used to settle constitutional issues anymore!
