Due to the fact that the procedures put in place by Britain require those individuals blessed with British citizenship by descent make themselves known to the British authorities and register as a British citizen, I admit that technically Trump is not a dual citizen.

He is merely entitled to be one. I find this to be a distinction without much of a difference. And as you must certainly be aware, I have always held this to be immaterial to his eligibility to serve as President.

It’s just a curiosity to be paraded out when the discussion becomes too ethereal for words.

-- And, if the phony 'dual citizenship' standard were adopted, so would Donald Trump, since he is eligible for British citizenship merely asserting his right to it. --

-- I admit that technically Trump is not a dual citizen. --

You didn't just "parade a curiosity," you said that if dual citizenship was a barrier to the office, that Trump is barred because he is a dual citizen. When called on it, you say that "entitled to citizenship" and "having citizenship" is a distinction without much of a difference. IOW, you are determined to hold the position that Trump is, for purposes of determining eligibility for the office, a dual citizen, even though he (technically) isn't one.

I am also aware that you hold that those born foreigners and those born dual citizens are eligible to the presidency.
