The reason a citizenship claim upon you could introduce doubt as to your being a natural born citizen under the Constitution would be the potential legal claims upon you, by Italy, when outside the jurisdiction of the United States, posing a difficulty for you and in turn the nation, should you become President.

It seems terribly odd to me that some people hold a position that a foreign nation's whims of law determine who the United States can or cannot consider a natural born citizen.

The meaning of the term itself pertains to citizenship status at birth, Bubba Ho-Tep, so a form of citizenship is the qualifyer. If another form of citizenship is present at birth, it is a pertinent consideration for such a birth status.

That said, I'll reiterate that, under every plausibly authoritative source I've encountered you are a natural-born citizen, born of the soil and of two citizen parents.

That Italian birthright citizenship under jus sanguinis might some authorities pause, though.
