Winston Churchill was English. He was English because he was born there to an English father, just as being born in say, Canada, to a Canadian parent, mother or father, would make one Canadian. Winston Churchill's mother was American, right? And after the war, because of his leadership, he was the first person granted by Congress the title of "Honorary American Citizen", or something to that effect. Right?
Why was that necessary? Why wasn't Winston Churchill already considered a Natural Born Citizen of the US? His mom was American, wasn't she?
Instead of being granted Honorary Citizenship, why wasn't he just awarded the Medal of Freedom or whatever, and a big party thrown for him and all kinds of other cool stuff?
Why didn't Winston Churchill relocate to America after the Labor party threw him out of office in 1945, and run for President here? He was a cool guy, right? He would have been a NBC at the time, wouldn't he?
He could've kicked Harry Truman's butt in 1948.
His mom was an American, wasn't she?
Well?
