The universe is full of silly notions, but the courts have already made clear that they don’t care about this issue. Judges, especially the liberal ones, don’t think this clause applies anymore. Even strict original intent crowd believe that this clause is present in order to prevent a subject of the King of England becoming President. This issue is moot.

"this clause is present in order to prevent a subject of the King of England becoming President"

Why would they want to prevent a subject of the King of England from becoming President? For exactly the same reason that we would not want a President influenced by foreign powers at this time. The question is far from moot!

The current occupier was a dual US Citizen (through his mother's citizenship) and British Subject (through his father's citizenship).

It's working out as well for us has having a Corsican leader did for France, an Austrian for Germany, and a Ukrainian for Russia...
