Unable to verify that statement. Perhaps some of the "legal eagles" who visit FR, can shed some light. If the above statement is true, it would appear that the U.S. POTUS may not be able to enter into such agreements/treaties.

Perhaps the GOP should have brought it up when Henry Kissinger was running things.

Obama has a couple people in his administration that are ‘dual’ citizens, but I can’t recall who at the moment. Something that should NOT be allowed, like the millions of ‘dual citizens’ from Mexico.

Presidents don't enter into treaties. They negotiate treaties. Any traty MUST be ratified by the Senate in order to have the force of law. The negotiation itself has no legal force.
If a President chooses to abide by a non-treaty agreement, he can, on his executive authority, but it does not have the force of law and can be overturned by his successor.
