Let me ask the question again, as I’m curious for your thoughts: if North Korea decided to grant citizenship to all Americans, would that mean no one would be qualified to be President?

If yes, then that means foreign countries have the power to decide who can and cannot be President in the US. If no, then that means holding dual citizenship by parents or by the Presidential candidate himself is irrelevant to NBC status.

I never mentioned other nations granting automatic citizenship to U.S. citizens as a reason for disqualification. It is your lame attempt to distract from the real issue of conflicted interest.

That is your extrapolation of the scenario of Americans born from foreign parents and a strawman argument that you have created to avoid the real topic of...

Why this president has not shown his birth certificate and is vigourously fighing every attempt to have it become public knowledge.

It explains why all pertinent records related to his life including his medical, educational, and professional records are sealed from the American citizens.

These records contain a number of inconsistencies and lies that contradict the life story he presented to the people that elected him.

The records he hides from the American public would reveal the time and place of his birth and publically disclose the fact that he is not a natural born citizen.

Obviously in that scenario North Korea would be doing so to prevent anyone from being president, that is quite different then the case of Barack Obama and the four countries that can claim him as a citizen (Britain, Kenya, Indonesia, and the United States).

At the time of his birth and throughout most of his life, each of these countries had a policy of no dual citizenship’s, which leads me to wonder why when he feels he is a citizen of the world and has said so, (in his speech in Berlin) can he also claim to meet the requirements of the presidency as laid out in the US constitution.

First and foremost is the requirement of natural born citizenry with no other allegiances to any other country, Obama clearly fails that test, the best example of that is that he has campaigned in Kenya on the behalf of his distant cousin in the Kenyan election for the presidency there. Under US law such actions are illegal, yet it did not slow down Obama in the least.

I can only assume that by his actions he places himself above US law and the Constitution itself, since he fails to abide by our laws and the very framework of our government.

Well, according to the way I understand the Consitution, if Korea granted all citizens of the USA citizenship, and these citizens did not renounce USA citizenship, then these citizens would be ineligible.

But, aren’t you begging the question? Or is this one of those “false choice” arguments? I didn’t take logic in College, went to RISD, and it wasn’t considered important to artists-in-training.

Maybe another Freeper can help me with the fallacious argument here?
