Rumors questioned her dual citizenship status, whether she had actually dropped her American citizenship, in order to be able to vote in Canada, who I think did not allow dual citizenship Canadian residents to vote at the time. Supposedly, records showed she voted in Canada.
Yes, I remember those details now. And, a naturlized citizen is NOT a NBC.
