So you believe that any foreign despot can move to the US, become a citizen and run for potus?

Well that's rather a ridiculous question. No they cannot, and I've never said that they could.

Well why not then?? If dual citizenship is no big deal?

But you do believe they could have a child born in the US, say by shipping the mother here on a student visa, or better by having the mother be a US citizen and come "home" for the birth. Then take that child back to be raised in the father's homeland, to return to live here for 14 years, then run for and be elected President? You suppose the founders would have accepted one of King George's grandsons as a Natural Born citizen, if the father had not become a US citizen before the child was born? I sort of doubt it.
