thomas jefferson had french citizenship when he became president and abraham lincoln accepted citizenship of san marino during his presidency.
Please list citations for both that they were anything other than "honorary" bestowals of "citizenship," much like "honoraray" college degrees that also have no actual academic credentials associated with them. As such, honorary degrees render the recipients ineligible for professional board certification.

" so mr jefferson was naturalized in france and there made a french citizen, and had he gone there would have been entitled to all the rights there of an adopted citizen,....."
Representative John Bingham, the father of the 14th Amendment stated:
John Bingham had exactly nothing to do with the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. His opinion on it is no more authoritative than my mother's. And she's dead too.

This quotation had exactly nothing to do with the 14th Amendment.

Under more than a half millennium of Anglo-American common law, the allegiance owed by a child at birth has nothing to do with its parents. It is the reciprocal obligation incurred by the child as a result of the government's protection. This takes care of Obama, Rubio and Jindal.
Cruz on the other hand gains his allegiance via jus sanguinis from his mother, just as McCain did from his parents. That this was the opinion of the founders and framers is proved by the Naturalization Act of 1790, where they explicitly said so.

Nor does William Rawle, the nutcase wacko Dr. Conspiracy and the man who wrote the nutty drivel 'The Annotated Zullo'.
