I think we both know the answer. I hate B.O. too but that doesn’t mean I buy into a weird theory that a British law on dual citizenship trumps American law any more than I buy into the theory that an Israeli law on dual citizenship disqualifies American Jews from the oval office.

This has nothing to do with British law or Israeli law. It has to do with our law and specifically our Constitution which restricts the Presidency to people whose parents were US citizens at the time of their birth. At that time one is a natural-born citizen according to the common usage of the English language. The Israelis cannot change that. Only an amendment to the Constitution can change it.
