“This. Pretty simple, really. No. Divided. Loyalties.”

That’s not true just because you want it to be. The truth is much simpler: Born. A. Citizen.

That is not simpler, it is simplistic. Aldo Mario Bellei (Rogers v Bellei) was "born a citizen" but lost his citizenship for failure to meet residency requirements.

As I have pointed out numerous times, a "natural born citizen" does not have to meet any residency requirements.

One can be "born a citizen" by operation of a statute, but that does not make one a "natural born citizen". A "natural born citizen" is not a citizen based on the operation of a statute, but is a citizen on the basis of their nature.

A person born to two citizen parents on their nation's soil can be a citizen of no other land. They are a "natural" citizen. One born with another nation's claim upon them, is NOT a "natural" citizen. Birth in a foreign country or birth to a foreign parent allows another nation to express a recognized claim on such individuals.

A person born to two citizen parents on their own nation's soil cannot be claimed by any other nation for any reason whatsoever. They cannot be compelled to serve another nation's army in accordance with ANY recognized law.
