You can be a dual citizen and your children can be, but I don’t think they can be President.

If Obama is a dual citizen, he has done nothing wrong with regards to that. He is entitled to it, but can he be President. That is the question.

Why don't you think that? Is there anything in Article II, Amendments XII or XXII, or anywhere else in the Constitution, that supports this view?

my biggest question is not where he was born, but where he was raised. Did he spend more time outside of the US or in. And it wasn’t because of the military, I can understand them being outside. He isn’t even the official nominee and he is already racking up the frequent flyer miles.

They will be natural-born citizens of the US. They will also be Canadian citizens from birth by virtue of the fact that I am a Canadian citizen (though Canada has no concept of natural-born citizen- naturalized Canadian citizens can run for any political office), but that isn't relevant to their eligibility to be President of the US. There is no Constitutional impediment to dual-citizens running for any public office.
