Benedict Arnold was a natural born citizen. Aaron Burr (tried for treason but acquitted) was a natural born citizen.
John Brown was a natural born citizen.
Robert Hansson (FBI-KGB double agent) is a natural born citizen.
Aldrich Ames (CIA-KGB double agent) is a natural born citizen.

And this argument is intended to imply that the Eligibility clause is not foolproof.

Tell me, does not being foolproof give us leave to ignore our laws? Funny notion that, coming from a man who lives for arguments of legal process.

“Interesting case — so much for the innocuous nature of dual citizenship.”

Context is important. My post was in response to a generalization that dual-citizenship leads to treason (see the quote above) and yet more treason has been committed by natural born citizens than by dual citizens.
