"When you have two citizen parents, there is no dual nationality or citizenship."

Wrong. I was born to two citizen parents. And I was still born a dual national with dual citizenship.

Your theory founders on the rocks of reality.

By the way, you do know that Jefferson was a dual citizen of the United States and France when he was elected President, right?

Jefferson was covered under the “grandfather clause,” (”at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution”)as were just about all of the first few Presidents. They were pretty much all born with dual-citizenship because the colonies were part of Britain. Therefore, it is believed that the grandfather clause was added to address that situation.

Cheers
