If Canadian law can't supersede US law, US law can not supersede Canadian law. and the fact remains, Canada has the stronger argument given that Ted was born into their jurisdiction and into their protection, that his father was a a Canadian citizen, and his mother was married in Canada, living in Canada, working in Canada, and raising her family in Canada.
You are simply wrong.
American law defines an American citizen at birth.
Canada can break off and fall into the ocean for all they have to say about the definition of an American citizen at birth.
There is no such thing as a quid pro quo. There is a chasm between their law and us once our law has spoken. It does NOT work the other way. If you don’t understand that, I can’t help you.
Any country in the world can claim anything against American law. If our legal system has set the standard then it is our standard we recognize here and not another country’s standard.
All of this is silly, anyway.
Canada is not trying to claim that their laws whatever they might be are controlling over our laws concerning our definition of natural born Americans.
Go ahead and TRY to make them equal in our eyes. Try to make our legal system get all hung up over what Canada or any other country in the world claims - if they even do, which in this case they really don’t care. Do you see Canada going to court in America, or demanding that Americans go to court in Canada, or going to some kind of international court, and trying to enforce Canadian law over American law in the case of someone’s citizenship.
No, you do not see that.
It doesn’t happen and isn’t happening and won’t happen.
