Why is dual citizenship a problem for any candidate so long as they qualify as a natural born citizen of United States?

There is nothing in the constitutional requirement to be president that the candidate be only an American. Citizenship is a national perogative and only matters to the nation that bestows/defines it. This is a non-issue for the purposes of his qualification to be President of the United States. You as the voter may question the candidate’s allegiance to our nation and not voting for him is your perogative, but he is qualified to run for that office in the eyes of our nation’s laws.

It’s not a problem for me, as you can tell if you read my posts.

I just don’t like the hypocrisy of the Trump followers who who make much of Cruz’s former dual citizenship while ignoring Trumps own EXISTING dual citizenship!

Yes, yes, yes!

I don't understand why this is such a hard issue for folks to wrap their minds around.
