"if Korea granted all citizens of the USA citizenship, and these citizens did not renounce USA citizenship, then these citizens would be ineligible."

Since this 'granting' would presumably be post birth (key point) i would suspect the next question would be...does the Korean (Naturalization?) process have language in it (like ours does: see below) that requires the US citizens to renounce their US Citizenship and all allegiance to the US? If those US citizens did not swear an oath to Korea, or renounce their US Citizenship...how then could the be considered Korean citizens?

How could the Koreans 'grant' citizenship to un-wanting US citizens...and be legally binding internationally, everywhere save for Korea? By what law could they do that? Would this be recognized by international law/treaties?

Barry got his British citizenship NOT by some Post Birth legal 'proclamation', or by his willful act of Naturalization to Britain, but rather by controlling British citizenship law already in place Prior to his being born.

Oath of Allegiance for Naturalized Citizens
In part: "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;"

That wouldn't be necessary. Plenty of countries, including the US, allow you to retain previous citizenships upon naturalization.

Sovereign nations are free to declare anyone a citizen that they wish. Some countries will never let you renounce citizenship and there's nothing you can do about it. Determining citizenship is sovereign power of every independent state.

I don't really see the difference. You are still letting British law dictate who can and cannot be President. That's the problem with this argument- it allows foreign law to strip Americans of the right to run for President.
