US law does not recognize dual citizenship. It is quite irrelevant whether a person is a citizen of more than one country. Our laws only pay attention to whether he is a citizen of this one.

Many are claiming that if he was born a citizen of the US and of some other country, perhaps Kenya or Britain, he cannot be a “natural-born” citizen of this country.

My point is that US law ignores whether a US citizen is also a citizen of another country. Citizenship status with another country does not affect one’s US citizenship status.

Possibly it should. Perhaps it should be the law that a person who holds or has held dual citizenship cannot be President. But that doesn’t appear to presently be the case, absent some sort of court ruling to the contrary.

Given the Constitution’s prohibition of ex post facto, even an act passed by Congress (yeah, right!) would probably not impact Obama’s coronation.
