This is the oath that a naturalized citizen MUST make to become an American citizen.
It is an attempt, through the instrument of an an oath of allegiance, to make the naturalized citizen partake of the attributes of a natural born citizen, namely: NO DUAL ALLEGIANCE!
The Oath of Allegiance is as follows:

“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 I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”
This is the STANDARD we set for a NATURALIZED citizen.
Surely the STANDARD MUST be as high for a NATURAL BORN citizen.
Therefore, it would be illogical to suppose that one with allegiance — FROM BIRTH — to a foreign country could be a natural born citizen.
In conclusion a NATURAL BORN citizen MUST be one BORN free of foreign entanglements.

St. George Tucker:
That provision in the constitution which requires that the president shall be a native-born citizen (unless he were a citizen of the United States when the constitution was adopted,) is a happy means of security against foreign influence, which, wherever it is capable of being exerted, is to he dreaded more than the plague. The admission of foreigners into our councils, consequently, cannot be too much guarded against; their total exclusion from a station to which foreign nations have been accustomed to, attach ideas of sovereign power, sacredness of character, and hereditary right, is a measure of the most consummate policy and wisdom.
The title of king, prince, emperor, or czar, without the smallest addition to his powers, would have rendered him a member of the fraternity of crowned heads: their common cause has more than once threatened the desolation of Europe. To have added a member to this sacred family in America, would have invited and perpetuated among us all the evils of Pandora’s Box.

Actually, by your argument, someone with a foreign citizen parent would have to be naturalized, which we know is not true.
The U.S. doesn't hinge citizenship on foreign laws. Just because one has a theoretical right to assert citizenship in another country does not mean one’s U.S. citizenship is in any way affected.
