Actually he’s not “being accused” of being a citizen of any other country, not directly. He’s being “accused” of not having two US citizen parents, which he and his staff readily admit.


Where in the US Constitution or where in the US Code does it say that a natural born citizen has to have two US Citizen parents? The Supreme Court in fact has ruled just the opposite.
The 14th Amendment says “ALL, I repeat, ALL persons BORN or naturalized in the US are citizens. A born citizen and a natural born citizen are synonomous and there are scores of Supreme Court decisions that back that up.

Not hardly. There is a decision as recent as 1971 that says those born citizens, who are citizens because of 8 USC 1401, who were born outside the US are naturalized and not even covered by the 14th amendment, since they are not "naturalized in the United States". Basically the decision indicates that their "citizenship from birth" may be removed for failure to meet certain criteria. This is not true of person's naturalized in the US, unless it can be determined that they were naturalized based on fraudulently provided information.
