this is the EXACT strategy i said the dems would use if TCruz were to get the nomination.

and yes, he would be found in ineligible. there’s far more evidence the founders intended for any future president to have only one citizenship at birth then any other weird fantasies concocted since 0bama came on the scene

Actually, there is NO evidence that the Founders intended any such thing, Nor could they have because we have NO control whatsoever over what other countries might demand or require in their own nationality laws.

There is no real world situation where dual citizenship could stand as the criteria.

If dual citizenship were the criteria for natural born status, then Donald Trump would also be ineligible - not directly because his mother was British (and she was naturalized before Trump was born anyway) but because HE was. And remains to this day, I assume, since I have never heard a word about him renouncing it.

Why is this important? Simply because it is irrelevant. Donald Trump is a natural born citizen in spite of his dual nationality. The Founders would never have countenanced our nation being marched around by some other country's laws.
