You meant to say that laws to prevent split citizenship parentage were only in place from 1907 to 1922.

No, I meant to say that prior to 1922 it was NOT POSSIBLE to have split national parents. NO nation recognized the wife as having different citizenship from her Husband. In the case of divorce, her original citizenship could be reinstated, but as long as they were married she derived her citizenship from her Husband.

It is not as simple as you present it.

Nor as you present it. Dual national parents did not occur until 1922. How could anyone consider such a thing when it had never been done before?

I showed that it was a specific law in 1907 that automatically linked a woman’s citizenship to her husband.

You replied with an unsubstantiated word salad.

Show me the laws prior to 1907 - should be simple to do. Just the American ones since foreign laws don’t apply here.
