Thank you for your response. I agree. A person is not responsible for claims other people make on their behalf.

There is no “valid” evidence Thomas Jefferson was ever granted any kind of French citizenship at any time. Even the source of the hearsay rumor retracted the otherwise non-existant allegation and claim.

With respect to George Washington and James Madison, the French authorities granted them honorary citizenship, which entails no obligations whatsoever to the French sovereign. It is honorary in nature only, and does nothing whatsoever to interfere with their allegiance, loyalty, or duty of obediance to the United States.
