‘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..’
Trump is not eligible for British citizenship because his mother was a naturalized USA citizen in 1942, 4 years before Trump’s birth. Born in USA to 2 USA citizen parentS, Trump is a nbc constitutionally eligible to the president. (NOTE - parents don’t have to be born in USA - Cruz intentionally said this to confuse the issue!)
As to Romney, Goldwater, McCain and obama, they were all challenged on their constitutional eligibility due to their dual citizenship !

Sorry, but you simply don’t know what you are talking about. This has been discussed to death on this forum, too bad you came in late.

By the way, I don’t dispute any of the FACTS you have, only that you don’t have enough of them. For example, the fact that I do not and never have harbored any doubts about Donald Trumps natural born citizenship.

But YOU need to know that Mrs. Trump’s naturalization in 1944 has NO BEARING whatsoever on the issue as framed.

Why? Simple, because Britain does not and has never recognized any renunciation of citizenship unless made in the proper form and manner to the British Home Secretary. Naturalization in another country is not recognized in Britain as an effective renunciation of citizenship. The law on this is clear, and the fact that you don’t know it is immaterial.
