Get it?
Trump's mother was born British to British parents. Ergo, she confers her British citizenship to any progeny of hers including Donald Trump.
Now this is not something I normally worry about. But since Trump decided to make an ass of himself by being a birther, let's play devils advocate shall we and worry about what Alan Grayson may or may not do shall we?
If what you assert is true, then Trump’s mother’s renunciation was of no effect.
Then British nationality law supercedes, or at best, nullifies, American naturalization law.
I don’t think either of us believes that to be true.
I believe Cruz could renounce his Canadian citizenship, just like I believe Trump’s mother could renounce her British citizenship, by affirmative declaration, in accordance with naturalization law.
Otherwise, Trump and his kids and grandkids are all now British nationals, which is absurd.
As for Grayson, he is a nutjob. But he is an indication of what the Clinton and/or DNC camps will do if Ted is the nominee.
Trump’s comments are not going to sway Iowan voters about Ted, but the arc is a longer one, extending to the general election.
The DNC will be relentless, and they will successfully judge shop to make this a litigated issue.
Congress has never settled the issue, and now it may become a factor in this election. The GOP has itself to blame for this.
Nope! She was an AMERICAN CITIZEN YEARS BEFORE Trump was born.
