[DiogenesLamp]

“Under the sovereignty” doesn’t mean sole claim. If that were true, a US citizen couldn’t have a second citizenship. It means under the jurisdiction of the laws of the US. Every tourist, businessman and illegal alien who’s here from another country is under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of the US while he’s here.

It is amusing to watch someone like you attempt to explain to us the meaning of your understanding of bad law.

Prior to 1922, it was not POSSIBLE to have a dual citizen offspring. Also, Indians were under the jurisdiction, but were not allowed to become citizens. Does believing in a weird dichotomy hurt much?

[Harlan1196]

Indians on sovereign Indian land were not under the jurisdiction of the US government. There were numerous ways for them to be naturalized as US citizens but they could not be born US citizens until 1924.
