Of course it doesn’t. My point was that in many countries, a child born there who has parents from another country then has dual citizenship (which would then make him/her ineligible for POTUS per our Constitution). But since Mexico doesn’t grant a foreign-parented child Mexican citizenship, then I assumed Mittens’ father was considered an American citizen only.

I’m not clear on what our Constitution says about that - does it consider such a child to have dual citizenship anyway?

As far as I know the United States does not legally recognize dual citizenship. Mexico does but I don’t know about other countries. A child born in the U.S. of Mexican parents is considered (wrongly I think!) to be a U.S. citizen, if the family goes back to Mexico they can declare Mexican citizenship for the child also and Mexico recognizes dual citizenship- as far as our country they are just considered a U.S. citizen.
