“However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries.”
A person that is required to follow the laws of another country cannot serve as president of the United States.

It would make an interesting Constitutional case. I doubt such a person could be elected if the public knew that the candidate held dual citizenship.
There is some speculation that Obama by virtue of his father, a British subject, obtained a British passport. No proof however.

I happened to ran across an 1870s incident that actual brought up the matter of the presidency and duel citizenship. Following is from the Albany Law Journal, 1875-1876. It's not a legally binding case, but is still interesting.
