Simply not true. British citizenship has no bearing on U.S. citizenship.

How so? It's my impression that the US did not recognize "dual citizenship" until just a few years ago. It certainly did not recognize such in 1961. If Obama was a British subject then he most assuredly was not a US "natural born citizen"!

That's fine. It doesn't have to. The U.S. certainly DID recognize U.S. citizenship, which is all that matters.

Untrue. One has no effect on the other. There is no caveat in U.S. citizenship law that says, "Oh yeah, unless you're also British."
