Anyone born here of foreign parents inherit the foreign nationality of their parent(s).

Divided citizenship, loyalties and allegiances were PRECISELY what the founders were excluding.

Legal nonsense. U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

Wong Kim Ark was the subject of an 1898 SCOTUS ruling involving citizenship. The court held that Wong Kim Ark was a CITIZEN (not a natural born one) by virtue of the 14th amendment, noting that his Chinese citizen parents were lawfully resident within the US at the time of his birth, and completely self supporting.

The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868. It did not exist at the time that Article II was ratified in 1787. The 14th amendment does NOT refer to, or alter the meaning of Article II in ANY way, whatever one thinks that the framers meant for Article II to accomplish.

Any country in the world is able to enforce it’s citizenship laws for or against any citizen subject to their jurisdiction. The only available option for a protesting country is either diplomacy or war. (see the War of 1812, which prompted the SCOTUS Venus case of 1814)
Our Immigration and Naturalization Act which makes a person born to ANY US citizen ANYWHERE in the world a US citizen too. Most every other nation in the world has similar statutes.

Our overlords have decided that this is not an issue worth examining by adjudication. Constitutionalists know that the NBC requirement is designed to protect the office of POTUS from undue foreign influence, and it is worth observing.
