I understand dual citizenship. But to assume the office of President of the United States, you must be a "natural born" American (presumably to keep all the sneaky Tory carpet-baggers out of the White House). This was exactly the argument of the Birthers. I would guess that someone born here to non-citizen parents could assume the office. I would not make the same guess about a child of 2 US citizen parents born out of the country.
I note that we have had at least one President born outside of the US (Grover Cleveland IIRC, and look how that turned out).
