WaPo is full of caca. The Founders did not want anyone with divided loyalties to be the chief executive and commander in chief of the armed forces. Not just Euro royals
But speaking of royalty — how would WaPo feel about a Saudi Prince running for POTUS?
IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a “natural born citizen” is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

Well, they do love Obama....
Somin is a legal academic. Orin Hatch proposed this amendment years ago. It gets proposed from time to time in Congress. I don;t have a list of them, but found half a dozen on a casual search a few days ago. Looked back to 1995 or so.
Oh heck, for that matter how would the WaPo feel about Benjamen Netanyahu running for President? He has American citizenship!
Not only that but they did not want foreign interference in the presidential selection process. There had been numerous wars in europe, and elsewhere, as one country tried to put is favorite prince on the throne of another country.

There are only two candidates in this election whose loyalty is questionable:
Trump and Bush.
