Spain offers a similar right of return. That one doesn’t get brought up much. Plenty of other nationalities have issues with mixed allegiances. In term one, we had a “La Raza” member (literally “The Race”) Mexican heritage judge attempt to put an injunction on Trump’s immigration policy. Meanwhile, Indians have promoted mass H1B immigration.
There’ve been previous (and current) issues with other ethnic groups doing the same thing - even “white” ones in times past (Italians, Irish, Polish. Heck, Bill Clinton might have been an agent of the British Crown with his Rhodes Scholarship). Even simpler things like campaign donations - how do we address a local road building company financing a city transportation department head into office? “Talk about creating conflicts of interest.”
The core issue seems to be how to address divided loyalties with government officeholders and corporate leadership. Not to take away from the one you pointed out, just reminding that it’s one (big) piece of a bigger picture.
Active enemy combatants holding an office is, of course, even worse.
You must realize that there is no relationship between loyalty and citizenship, just obligations. Plenty of Americans arrested for espionage for foreign powers. Plenty of citizens working to destroy our nation and its Constitution.
What about the dual citizen jews? Anyodybwith interest outside the u.s.s should not be allowed to serve.

I’m pretty sure there was a time when US citizens could not have dual citizenship. I wonder when that changed… in the 80s or 90s maybe.
Banned until 1967, when the Supreme Court ruled it out.

Do you have any evidence that dual citizenship makes anyone less trustworthy?
All I see are slimy Democrats and RINOs, regardless of citizenship.
