I was born in Germany, to two US citizens ... I do NOT have a US birth certificate ... meaning I was NOT born on US soil ... I am not, nor will I ever be a ‘natural born’ US citizen... There was a reason why our founding fathers specifically required a president to be a ‘natural born’ US citizen .... there is NO other allegiance to any other nation ... or a claim coming from any other nation.
It seems lost on people that ‘we the people’ are government ... US citizen parents who want to bequeath to their children ‘natural born’ US citizenship ought to be birthing those children on US soil.
That’s exactly how I thought it worked. I am foreign born. My father was on gov’t assignment in Spain. He met and married my mother in Spain. I was born there. The only reason I was born a US citizen was because my father was a us govt employee. I have a state dept form that reads ‘US citizen born abroad’.
I sincerely appreciate and applaud your Patriotism.
Some idiots here just don’t get it.
My Dad, as Patriotic as the day is long, was born of 2 German immigrants working towards their US citizenship. He was born before they had achieved what his parents covered. But, he did have a soft spot for Germany. This is what was intended by Washington and Jay in their correspondence.
