if he wants to insure he has an actual chance of being on the presidential ballot, he needs to get the issue of being Constitutionally eligible cleared up sooner rather then later.

by that i mean, being born with multiple citizenship possibilities (ie: US, canadian, and cuban) and somehow still be a natural born citizen

fyi, you cannot be a natural born citizen of more then one country. if you could, what would be the point of using the phrase in the Constitution?

Dual citizenship at birth appears to be no bar to being a natural born citizen of the US. See Obama.

To prevent naturalized citizens who came to citizenship later in life.

So he was, technically, a subject of the Queen of England at birth, just like one of his parents had been a citizen of Her colony (still at the time) of Kenya. Like that would make a difference.

There is no eligibility question. You just made that up.

The founding fathers has no control over how other countries bestow citizenship. It's completely irrelevant as to the status of US citizenship. There are many countries that recognizes duel citizenship and many that don't.

The only issue that is germane is whether he was a US citizen at the time of his birth. He was.

His mother was a citizen at the time of his birth. That is not disputed.

That was the issue with 0bama. His mother was not a citizen at the time of 0bama’s birth.
