"Perhaps, but it also happens to be correct."

Keep telling yourself that. The fact is, no one can lead a nation while having to answer to another nation.

It's called a conflict of interest, something just about any person on the planet understands if they've ever worked for an employer. The UN also agrees with this, no matter how "new world" they are.

Yes, the President is employed. Well, he's SUPPOSED to be employed. He does take a paycheck from the United States Government and so far as I can tell, doesn't sit on a throne all day (that's if he's not eating buttery IBS-inducing lobster 20 times a week). That little tidbit can be found in a little piece of paper called the U.S. Constitution. It's very insightful if it's read and understood in its original context.

Oh, and anyone who is a dual citizen will not be granted secret clearance. Why is that? And why does the usurper in chief get special permission to waive this requirement? Before answering with a "Constitution forbids it blah blah blah", the answer can be found in the definition of "Natural Born Citizen" itself.

I blame this lack of understanding on the liberal whitewashing NEA and their merry band of Union goons, so I do pity people who've fallen into the socialistic trap of "higher education".

Y'know, somebody should really let Tom Tancredo know this before he wastes his time running for President again. Since he almost certainly has dual citizenship with the U.S. and Italy.

It's funny how no one ever claimed he was ineligible during the campaign.

Unfortunately, that's not true. I agree with you it is a bad idea to have a dual citizen as president, and I would certainly think twice before voting for a dual citizen. I did not vote for Tancredo. However, the fact is there is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting it.

That being said, we know Obama is NOT a dual citizen. He was born with dual citizenship with Kenya, but he lost it when he was in his early twenties, since he never took any action to retain it. We also know for sure he was never an Indonesian citizen, as to become one he would have had to renounce his US citizenship, and there is no record of him having done so.
