Oh how condescending of you; but then, YOU are just a baby.
No marriage after 1922 conferred citizenship upon a woman marrying an American citizen. So Trump’s mother had to renounce her UK citizenship and become naturalized by taking and passing the test.Ergo....you are damned dead WRONG!
And yes, I just looked this up. :-)

Well, if you looked “it” up (remember, “it” is the subject of dual citizenship for Trump’s mother, however in hell she gained US citizenship) then you’ll be able to provide a link to that information for us. The only thing I have read about Trump’s Scottish mother and American citizenship was that she was naturalized about 4 years before Trump’s birth. Whether that was by passing an exam, having Congress pass a special law for her (yes, I believe Congress has done that for some folks) or some other way -— I DON’T CARE & IT DOESN’T MATTER. What we had been discussing was DID SHE RETAIN HER BRITISH CITIZENSHIP? So if you have a link to something authoritative about that, please post it and shed some light.
You claimed that Mrs. Trump gained American citizenship status when she married Mr. Fred Trump! That is what I looked up and since I don't do links, I suggest that you go look up when THAT became obsolete...it was in 1922. So YOU were damned dead wrong about that!
Ergo, Donald's mother didn't have dual citizen and therefore couldn't make ANY of her children dual citizens.
Countries have different rules/laws about citizenship; however, people from South Africa, who have a close re3lative ( parent or grandparent, I think it is ) who was originally from the UK, have an easier time in getting into the UK, than say someone from a family background of Boers and/or French Huguenots, even though RSA was once part of the British Empire.
During the time that the USSR flourished, any male whose ancestors came from that area, caught in the USSR, was legally ( for them ) conscripted into their military. No, I do not know if that is still true, but I doubt that it is.
My grandmother was a British citizen who married an American and had to apply for and get approved to become a US citizen in 1947. In order to do this, she had to surrender her British passport and sign documents that said she was no longer a British citizen, and could no longer get any benefits from being a British citizen. Those documents were sent through the British embassy and if she went to the UK and pretended she was still a British citizen, there would be a record of her renouncing he citizenship.
That was how it worked.
In 1998, a Swedish friend of mine did something similar; after eight years in the US, he was allowed to get his US citizenship, and had to surrender his Swedish passport and sign that he was no longer a Swedish citizen. These documents went to the Swedish embassy and it was recorded that he no longer was a Swedish citizen.
FYI: I even called the British consulate some years ago to see if I could get UK birthright citizenship since my grandma was born there and the answer was 100% no, since she renounced her citizenship.
I am sure you can find plenty of Freepers who became naturalized US citizens who can back up what I am saying.
