No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

Doesn't say anything about dual citizens not being eligible.

I found it interesting when The Stain® was asked if he thought Bronco Bomber was qualified to be President ... he replied that the Constitution determines who is qualified.

I think the main question is how/whether it would affect his electability if true..... if even a small % of people “in the middle” of the electorate might hesitate to vote for someone with perceived dual loyalties or uncertain loyalty, that would most certainly be a crushing blow to his electability.

One cannot pledge allegiance to two countries at one time. It's time to do away with dual-citizenship
and/or prohibit those with dual citizenship from holding office. That goes for the California Austrian, as well.
