Sorry.....Dual citizenship is not acceptable. The whole object of being a US Citizen is total loyalty to the country....AND....he is NOT a Natural Born citizen, i.e., born within the bounds of the United States.
I don't like dual citizenship. Let a person choose. When someone takes the citizenship of one country, they should give up the other. Why should their vote impact two countries, when the rest of us only get to vote in one? The Sussex spawn does not have two US parents and was not born in the US.
Well, with the exception of Trump, that hasn't worked out very well for us of recent, has it.?? :(
Sorry. But that defines a native born citizen, NOT a natural born citizen.

You are correct. Some people have a place to run to after screwing up the U.S.
It is not a matter of dual citizenship being “acceptable” or not.
Dual citizenship occurs when the laws of two different countries both confer citizenship on a single person.
The child’s mother is an American Citizen. The child automatically inherits her Citizenship. The child holds it by right and it can never be taken, making the child a natural born American Citizen.
It could only be renounced by the citizen child after he tuns 18 and only by deliberately doing so. Even if his mother later becomes a UK citizen and renounces her American citizenship she can’t renounce it for the child.
At the same time the child is the son of a UK citizen and a member of the Royal Family and in the line of succession to the throne, making the child a UK citizen at birth, again a citizen by right and under UK law that citizenship cannot be taken.
In the case of US law, the only thing that matters is if the child meets the requirements to be a citizen: either birth on American soil, or birth overseas to an American citizen parent.
The fact that UK law may make the child also a UK citizen is irrelevant to US law. And the Congress has no authority to take a persons citizenship if born an American just because another countries laws may make them a citizen of that country too.
he is NOT a Natural Born citizen, i.e., born within the bounds of the United States.
And not born of two citizen parents.
