I wish. They can have her. She's a chillingly scary woman. Even worse than Hillary, and that's saying a lot.

On the sad side, it makes her ineligble for POTUS. So no more corndog gobbling.

yeah, i actually saw that like fifteen minutes ago. it's not really that helpful since it says no once and yes twice and it gets into that whole natural born citizen horseshit.

it's all good. it looks like it's something that is actually untested, so "i don't know" might actually be the only real answer. i would guess that it would at least be an issue if she actually ever tries to make another run, but fuck it. who the hell knows?

I've been through this personally because I was born in Canada.
The US does not recognize dual citizenship. If she swore allegiance to Switzerland she is no longer a US citizen. It's irrelevant if the other country recognizes dual citizenship.
If true that she's done that, I find it interesting since Switzerland has universal health care mandated and subsidized by the government.

The requirement that US presidents be 'natural born' was introduced to stop one man taking the office and for no other reason. That man was Alexander Hamilton who was born on Nevis in the British West Indies.
Aaron Burr of course, made the provision unnecessary when he killed Hamilton.

The provision would not have barred Hamilton. It says, "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."
The point was to forestall the possibility of some rich foreign prince getting into power in America. This was not long after Independence, Americans were still a little paranoid about European imperial ambitions. Like how Napoleon III, almost a hundred years after the Constitutional Convention, set up an Austrian Hapsburg prince, Maximilian, as his puppet Emperor of Mexico; so maybe it wasn't such a crazy fear after all, then. But it is now. Is it really any harm if an Austrian prince like Ahnold becomes POTUS today?
