Ah, your bizarre circular argument again.

I suppose that the Founders understood that amendments could be made at any time in the future to include whatever the citizens felt was needed or warranted.

But since dual citizenship is still not an officially recognized/legal type of citizenship it might be pretty tough to have Article ll amended to include this.

Why don’t you petition for this and let us know how that works out. Seven or eight attempts have been made by our elected reps. to amend Article ll and no attempt has yet been successful. You should read of the attempt that Barney Frank made, it’s good stuff. Lots of arrogant posturing about “fairness”.

Ladysforest, please post where the US Constitution forbids someone with dual citizenship from being President.

You cannot, because the Constitution A) Does not mention dual citizenship, and B) Allows someone born in the US to foreign parents to become president, although some countries would claim that person as a citizen of their own land.
