So according to you The US constitution allows someone with multiple citizenships to be the President of the United States.

Please quote the article of the US Constitution that says exactly that.

Sure. Here it is. Article II, Section one.

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

You will note that it does not prohibit plumbers, ethnic Luxembourgers, bilateral amputees or dual citizens from being President.

Therefore, by an act of omission it allows plumbers, ethnic Luxembourgers, bilateral amputees and dual citizens to be President. This list is not inclusive.

If you feel it does not allow dual citizens to be President, then you must also conclude that it does not allow plumbers.

And I'd love to see you try to make that argument.
