Don't you tell me what my husband had to or not had to do. You obviously had never served in the military and been stationed overseas with your family, otherwise you would know what I am saying the truth.

You said the hospital was US territory for purposes of citizenship. I said it wasn't. You also said you had to the US consulate to get the birth certificate processed. I don't doubt that. But it was a mere formality not affecting the eligibility of your kids to serve as president. They were citizens by birth because they were born to American citizens (I presume).

If they had been born in a civilian German hospital, that would have been a different story

How so? In either case, they would have been born on German soil. You still would have needed to get documentation from a consular office, and it still would have been a formality not affecting your kids' natural born status.

How dare you put words in my mouth, that I never said . I never typed the the hospital was US territory for purposes of citizenship. Here is exactly what I typed in post #16
My son and my daughter were both born in Germany about 6 years apart in the same US Army hospital which made it US territory. We had to travel to the US Consulate in Munich to get their US Birth certificate

You conveniently left out Army. If it had just been a hospital in Germany it would not have been in US territory. But it was a US Army hospital and that made it US Territory.

We did get my son and daughter registered with the US Embassy as required in order for them to receive a US birth certificate.

A baby’s birth must be registered with the U.S.Embassy (or, at least the State Department) and becomes a citizen-by-statute (jus sanguinis) because the parents are U.S. citizens. Military personnel have similar requirements when births occur while stationed overseas.
