It's only been 58 years since Israel declared Jerusalem as it's capital. A move would risk ratifying the creation of the State of Israel.

As I learned on another thread, when it comes to Israel Presidents lie, it's the American way.

Nonsense. The United States obviously recognizes the State of Israel, which we have subsidized to the tune of tens of billions of dollars and have already saved once, by Nixon's airlift of military supplies during the Yom Kippur War.

We would gain absolutely nothing by moving the Embassy to Jerusalem, which is why no President of either party has moved it.
