Winston Spencer Churchill was born in Blenheim, England. His father was Lord Randolph Churchill. His mother was the former Jenny Jerome of Brooklyn, New York. Winston Churchill was never a citizen of the United States, or indeed a natural born citizen.
Of course he wasn't. For in 1963 by proclamation, he was declared an honorary citizen of the United States. This by President Kennedy.
An American mother then, did not give citizenship to her son Winston Churchill. Yer Framers of the Constitution must be turning in their graves.
Hi Peter,
Through her marriage, Jennie JEROME acquired the title of Lady Randolph Churchill as well as British citizenship.
