Article II, clause 5

I assume you mean, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Says nothing about dual citizenship OR divided loyalty.

Nothing.

Zero, zip, zilch, nada.

Perhaps you are seeing penumbras and emanations?

What is the purpose of Article II clause 5? What does it mean? And why did they put it in the US Constitution?
