Didn’t say he wasn’t a US citizen. He was born a duel citizen. A duel citizen is not a natural born citizen simply because they are born a citizen of another country.

You do know a citizen and a natural born citizen are two different things don’t you?

"Didn’t say he wasn’t a US citizen."

No. He never said that.

"He was born a duel citizen."

I have never seen any citation that he said that, but he doesn't have to. He is a dual citizen just like tens of millions of other natural born American citizens... yours' truly included.

"A duel citizen is not a natural born citizen simply because they are born a citizen of another country."

No. It doesn't work that way. No other country can tell the US who is or is not a natural born American citizen. That's entirely up to our laws, not theirs. All the countries on the planet could hand out their citizenship like M&Ms, and it still wouldn't matter in terms of who is or is not a natural born American citizen.

"You do know a citizen and a natural born citizen are two different things don’t you?"

Kinda. One (NBC) s just a subset of the other (citizen).

Both Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were duel citizens.

And both of them sought the Presidency in their day to no objection.
