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.

That dovetails nicely with a question I have asked of birthers on several occasions, without reply.

If they are going to insist that "is legally able to apply for citizenship in another country" means "not a NBC", are they aware that their criteria excludes, among others, every Jew and anyone who had an Irish grandparent?

The notion is absurd. The laws of other nations couldn't possibly have any bearing on who is eligible to run for President and who is not. Yet somehow I can't get a single birther, on any of these threads, to respond to my question.
