There you have the entire Natural Born Citizen argument.
Now enter the "Birthers," who rightly point out that Obama has not proven Hawaiian Birth. We cannot prove that he was foreign born. He cannot prove that he is Hawaiian born.
Which brings us back to the fundamental importance of Article II, and the question, "Can a dual citizen be a Natural Born Citizen?"
“Can a dual citizen be a Natural Born Citizen?”
No.
See this article by Collins from the time of Chester A. Arthur. After reading this, Arthur may well have made the final decision to burn all of his documents before his death. Which in fact he did do.
Yes. Doesn't that have to be the rule? Otherwise, we cede control over our own candidates to the laws of other countries.
Look, the eligibility of someone to be President must be based on our laws, not on the laws of another nation. Otherwise, you give other nations a veto power over who can run for President. Suppose Palin wins the nomination, and Iran passes a law declaring her an Iranian citizen. That makes her a dual citizen, and hence....ineligible?
The most you could do is make a so-called "dual citizen" ineligible if, under the citizenship laws of the U.S., that person could also be considered a citizen of another country. But you just can't have a "no dual citizen" law, or other nations will have a field day messing with us.
“Can a dual citizen be a Natural Born Citizen?”
No! The US State Department explains why.
“...dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country.”
