Excuse the vanity, but I have been curious for some time about Sen. Mazie Hirono's citizenship status. I cannot find a date for her naturalization. She was born in Japan in 1957. Her family immigrated to Hawaii some time during her childhood.
What I cannot remember is what happened to foreign born residents of Hawaii when the Territory became a state (1959?). Were they "grandfathered" in when Hawaii became a state? Or, did they have to go through the naturalization process with classes, tests, and oaths of allegiance? Although Hirono attended school in Hawaii, she sounds like she has no background in government, or the Constitution.
In what alternative universe would that happen in?
Mazie was born in Japan in 1947.
Citizenship in Hawaii was always a little sketchy, as we found when researching Obama. They had this rule that the mother could not confer citizenship on her child if she was under a certain age and married to a non citizen. I suspect that Hawaii just took in everyone who was there at the time — citizen, or not — and conferred citizenship on them.
Research Emma Goodman who was deported to Russia after making statements against our government.

Apples and oranges......Emma Goodman was not a member of Congress...like Maize.
Members of Congress should not be above the law. They should live by the same rules as the rest of us.
100 senators. 2 each from each of the 50 States.
