Trump’s mother was Scottish and was naturalized several years before Donald’s birth. Did Great Britain ever remove her British citizenship? Probably not so she had dual nationality once naturalized — American and British. Does that effect Donald’s eligibility for the presidency? Hell no it doesn’t, not in the least.
Italy has a two generation citizenship.
There is a difference between a birthright claim and “giving someone citizenship”.
A child born to US citizens in a foreign country or US territory is a natural born citizen. Jus soli is as though the child was born on US soil.
That’s a matter of settled law. A child is NOT a natural born US citizen if he was born to foreign parents abroad. He would be a US natural born citizen if born here regardless of the parent’s citizenship status.
There are some exception like diplomats, whose children born here receive the citizenship of their country, not the US.
Some countries may extend citizenship to any one born on their soil along with whatever citizenship was claimed by their parents at the time of their birth.
