Since US law applies to those US born on US soil wouldn’t Canadian law apply to those born on Canadian soil?

US law governs US citizenship. Canadian law governs Canadian citizenship. Every Jew, regardless of place of birth, is eligible for Israeli citizenship under that country's Law of Return. Anyone with an Irish grandparent is eligible for Irish citizenship. Do those laws affect the US citizenship of the people to whom they apply?

That is a false analogy. Israel and Ireland have an extended invitation to grant citizenship to anyone of that nation's bloodline, but that is a very different thing from compelling you to serve that nation.

In the various wars fought between the French and the British, men have been EXECUTED for Treason because they were captured by a side that claimed their allegiance.

Italy also has a long standing policy of granting citizenship to the children of Italian descent. During World War II Italy and the United States were on opposite sides. Had someone been born in Italy to an Italian father and an American mother (Aldo Mario Bellei comes to mind) he would have been COMPELLED to fight in the Italian army against the United States.

Had he claimed to be an American, and was therefore exempt, they would have thrown him in the army or they would have thrown him in prison.

There are real world consequences to getting moral and principled clarity on this issue. The Notion that someone who could have been compelled to fight in a Foreign Army against us is qualified to be our President is nonsensical and ridiculous.

The Current Administration ought to make it obvious why it is a disaster to allow a non natural citizen to get control of our country. He has no loyalty to us, nor our principles, and he shows us this every day.
