Newt Gingrich has a list of what he would do the first week in office as President.:
4. Respect Each Sovereign Nation’s Choice of its Capital. Each sovereign nation, under international law and custom, may designate its own Capital. Accordingly, the U.S. State Department should be instructed to respect the choice of each sovereign nation and place the American embassy in their Capital. (Israel is the only country the United States discriminates against in this regard. The people of Israel have designated Jerusalem as their capital. Yet the United States retains its embassy in Tel Aviv.)
So, Rep.Paul is second.

Good call. I was engaging in a bit of rhetoric in my comment at #3. Gingrich and Ron Paul are both correct. I’m sure there are a few others. It just seems like such a no-brainer, I don’t know why the US government can’t get on board the USS Obvious.
Would be wonderful to see a President recognize Israel’s choice Jerusalem as their capitol. Not going to happen with either Obama or Romney though.
