Her children will also be American citizens and the thus eligible to become president of the United States. Meaning there is a small but nonzero percent chance that a future president of the United States may also be in line for the British throne.

So, hypothetically, if one of those children did become President and the monarch over there kicked the bucket and our President was next in line, would they be President and King/Queen? Or would they go to their royal duties, resigning from the presidency?

i believe the constitution forbids the potus from holding any titles in a foreign government, so he would have to surrender any claims he holds to be eligible

The Constitution forbids anyone "holding an office of profit or trust" from accepting any title or office from a foreign state without consent of Congress. So if Congress agreed it would be totally legit since nothing in British succession law prevents it.

There's sort of a precedent for this sort of thing since the President of France is by law also a co-Prince of Andorra along with the Bishop of Urgell. That's sort of the same thing.

The best part was that kid doing all the painstaking research to find out that every president was a descendant of King John... except for Martin Van Buren. What are the odds that exactly one wouldn't be? something something illuminati

I can believe it. Van Buren grew up in an insular Dutch-American community (his first language was Dutch, even) whereas every other early president was super Anglo.

The Mail is a racist, classist rag not fit to wipe the asses of decent people. Think Fox News, but as a lovely tabloid that doesn't even bother to disguise its blatant panic-mongering as journalism. Overwrought hand-wringing about poors, Muslims, gays, and whatever else gives sheltered middle-class white Britons heart palpitations is the Daily Mail's MO. gently caress 'em.

Doesn't matter: the Daily Mail and its readers famously hates darkies coloured blacks immigrants [editor's note: the lawyers say we have to call them 'illegal immigrants', so use that from now on] so the fact that she's off-white means that they get to use lots of negative stereotypes for clickbait articles.

Yes but that is by appointment and tied to the office; in this case the other title would be hereditary and tied to the person.
