First of all - The burden of proof is the requirement of those that make unusual claims.

Without a decree signed by Jefferson indicating his intention to become a French citizen, you have gone well beyond any requirement.

Secondly, don’t waste too much time arguing with Fogblowers. Wasting your time and annoying you is their goal. (They will argue in circles, and call in comrades. It is in their playbook.)

Thank you for your response. I agree. A person cannot be naturalized without their consent. (And Jefferson was not even given "Honorary" French citizenship.)

I don't think Jeff is a Fogblower. (Meaning Liberal Democrat) I think he has some particularly strong reason for wanting to believe what he believes, but I think that he is an actual conservative who has merely been misled on this issue. For some reason it has far too much emotional significance to him. It clouds his judgement.
