Just to keep you on track;

Here are some interesting quotes concerning ‘JURISDICTION’

In the year 1873 the United States Attorney General ruled the word “jurisdiction” under the Fourteenth Amendment to mean:

The word “jurisdiction” must be understood to mean absolute and complete jurisdiction, such as the United States had over its citizens before the adoption of this amendment… Aliens, among whom are persons born here and naturalized abroad, dwelling or being in this country, are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States only to a limited extent. Political and military rights and duties do not pertain to them. (14 Op. Atty-Gen. 300.)

House Report No. 784, dated June 22, 1874, stated, “The United States have not recognized a double allegiance. By our law a citizen is bound to be ‘true and faithful’ alone to our government.” There is no way in the world anyone can claim “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” affirms the feudal common law doctrine of birth citizenship to aliens because such doctrine by operation creates a “double allegiance” between separate nations.

Now, explain, how a British subject governed by British Law, can be under the Jurisdiction of the United States, as defined that “The United States have not recognized a double allegiance”
So if Barack Obama’s allegiance followed his father, followed his father’s condition, regardless of where he was born. Hawaii, the Washington monument, the Oval Office or anywhere else he [Obama] was born is irrelevant, he is not, can not, nor ever be qualified per the Constitution.

That's simple. The U.S. doesn't recognize the second allegiance or the foreign citizenship. As such, a child born with dual citizenships is, in the eyes of the U.S., only a U.S. citizen.

The U.S. looked upon Obama as being a U.S. citizen and having only allegiance to the U.S.; they didn't recognize any foreign allegiance in him, even if the U.K. did. Fortunately, who is and isn't a natural-born American citizen is a function of U.S. law and only U.S. law, and isn't affected by who the United Kingdom or any other country decides to grant citizenship to of their own volition.
