The current UK laws are somewhat in tune with natural law. They formally passed legislation that rejects birthright citizenship a decade ago, however they haven't completely gotten rid of the feudal dual allegiance doctrine. So, while they move further to right reason, here we are going back to medieval feudal doctrine that leads to a nations’ ruin. We need to stop this train wreck ASAP and we have to do it using the common sense law of natural right & reason given to us by our forefathers.

I’m not sure what you propose works under a republic. You’d have to forswear allegience to the Queen again to get a comparable situation.

The problem is, as you’ve noted, is that anyone could become president once they were naturalized. How much sense does it make to reject foreign entanglements, when someone could come from abroad and govern the nation?

Granted, you’ve got the worst of it right now with Obama, where someone has done just that, come from abroad to govern America, *despite* the laws in place that say this shouldn’t happen.

This is a disaster long term for the republic.

Anyways, long term, that is one of the benefits of the monarchy to retain the general character of the nation. I’d accept your argument if it meant going back to how things were done prior to the revolution, but I sincerely doubt that many Americans, even those who are sympathetic, would support this. We’re both odd-ducks.
