Just a question. If the next dual citizen who runs for president has an American BC and a passport from his father’s home country, and notches on his rifle for Americans killed in action while fighting against us, like an Alawaki type. Would a judge call him an NBC?
Under section 349 of.the Immigration and Nationality Act he would most likely lose his American citizenship. Either taking arms against America or an act of treason - either one would work.
Sometimes you have to wonder why the nbC requirement keeps getting translated into just 'citizen'. Does someone know something that would make just being a 'citizen' an issue?

From above:
a. Having from birth a particular quality or talent: a born artist.
b. Destined, or seemingly destined, from birth: a person born to lead.
Note the formal defnition of the adjective "born" includes FROM BIRTH. It does NOT say "at birth".
FROM birth!
If a person loses or gives up their citizenship and then requires it it would seem they are no longer a 'born Citizen'. They are not. They are naturalized citizen.
The events of December 1971 are interesting as might be Obama's actions as a young adult. These may be more problematic than anything related to 1961.
