Ah yes - you cannot reply with reason, so you declare victory and move on.

Again: Show where the US Constitution forbids a President from having dual citizenship. What the Constitution does not forbid, it permits. So...where does it forbid?

So, does the Constitution forbid murder? Then the Constitution allows murder under your “logic”.

But murder is something that has always existed.

Dual citizenship is not. Oh true, children were born in foreign lands while their parents were visiting - but those children were NOT given citizenship in both lands, at least not in 1787, and certainly not to US children.

Why would the Constitution specifically address a type of citizenship which did not even exist?

1 PREFACE
.. THE following law-paper was written for the satisfaction of some fellow-citizens and friends, one or more of
‘’ whose children were born in foreign parts, during occsional visits by their parents to Europe. Such children
are Aliens, notwithstanding their parents are natural-
born citizens of the United States. The paper is printed
at this time, in the hope that Congress, at its present
session, may supply the defect of our law.
HORACE BINNEY.
, December- 1, 1868.
