The Tenth Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
There is no all encompassing federal election law, except dealing with campaign finance. Each state plus the District of Columbia determines who is eligible under the Constitution to run for office in that state.
If any state passed a law stating that two American citizen parents were required in order to be eligible as a natural born citizen, I’m certain that law would be challenged at the Supreme Court of the United States and we might finally get a definitive clarification. But no state has passed such a law and neither has Congress.
The current interpretation of Article 2, Section 1 is that a person born in the United States is a natural born citizen, as long as they do not hold diplomatic immunity or they are not a member of a foreign invading military.
The states shouldn’t need to pass law to require singular citizenship candidates. The constitution requires it.
When Obama was running in 2008, I told my daughter, a liberal Democrat, Truth be told, communist, that Obama will be disqualified. That he can’t be president because he has had multiple citizenships from birth.
Being the Obot that she is, she said that’s a good thing. She said that’s even more reason to vote for him. I think that attitude was common. It shocked me, so I never forgot.
So I understand the mentality.Breaking this clause has been a feather in the communist cap for anti Americans libs.

Violation of civil right would be nice too.
