I am gratified that you found my reply useful. We all need to demand that this issue be adjudicated by a competent authority, or globalism will sure reign, not just as an influence, but as an integral component of the office of POTUS.
Ivanka Trump, a former Czechoslovakian national was lawfully resident in the US when Don Jr. was born. Czech citizenship law follows the principle of jus sanguinis, used to determine eligibility for citizenship, as is typical in Europe. Any person born to a Czech citizen is a Czech citizen at birth. Whether the person is born in the Czech Republic or elsewhere is irrelevant. What natural born citizen is born with multiple citizenships? It does not matter that Don Jr. does not and did not want it. Czech citizenship law is just as valid as our own. Our laws are the same as theirs in that regard.
Again, Don Jr. is a citizen, no doubt. He is NOT an Article II, section 1, clause 5 natural born citizen eligible for the POTUS.

I recall a story of a shot down Tuskegee Fighter pilot (I think it was from Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson’s account “Red Tail Captured, Red Tail Free,” but I am not sure) who was interrogated by a German Oberleutnant speaking perfectly accented US English in the Stalag where he was being held.
The airman asked the German officer why he spoke such good English. He explained that he had been brought to the US by his parents when he was 10 years old. He was interned as an enemy alien by the 3rd Reich while visiting Germany by Adolph Hitler’s Declaration of war on the US on Dec 11 1941.
After a brief internment, He said that he had been drafted into the German Army under the German citizenship laws at the time as a VOLKSDEUTSCHE citizen. He fought on the Eastern Front, was wounded and transferred to the Western Front and fought against the Allies in Italy, including US troops. Wounded again, he was sent to the Stalag as an interrogater.
After the war, a charge of treason was considered against him. But the charges were dropped when it was determined that the Germans did have the right to conscript him as a natural born German citizen, under THEIR laws, and that he was a lawful enemy combatant.
Yes, circumstances can certainly dictate when you are subject to a foreign power.
Accordingly, the framers wanted to minimize (not guarantee) the likelihood of undue foreign influence upon the office of POTUS, particularly from a father owing an allegiance to a foreign sovereignty.
