One of the arguments that have been put forward as a reason why Obama is not Constitutionally qualified to be president is that dual citizenship negates natural born citizenship.

Exactly so, and there are good reasons for this.

This, btw is what some of us brought up long ago. It’s good to see FR finally starting to catch up.

It does not. (See post 104).

It would probably be a good idea for Ted Cruz to specifically renounce any claim to Canadian citizenship. But there is no legal requirement for him to do so in order to be eligible. Being born a United States citizen is enough.
