Just thought I'd hang this idea here. You're either American or not all all and this is just my stance.

Not sure I agree with this notion. Problem with this logic is that most countries won't disclose if you are their citizen.
Take Israel for example: the only reason we even know that we have people in positions of power who have Israeli citizenship is because they disclosed it themselves. I'm pretty sure there is a good chunk of congressmen who are Israeli citizens, but we simply don't know.
And as A FYI: if you are a dual citizen(fro example: Mexico and Israel), when you become a US citizen you have to pick one that you have to surrender.
If you want a better policy, simply make the PACs and lobbying illegal, only individual contributions to political campaigns, make it so that NGOs and corporations can't donate to political campaigns or charities for any reason. Also make sure that 1st and 2nd generation immigrants can't hold any form of office.
