I believe in your eligibility to be president, George.

Perhaps not your ability. But definitely your eligibility.

hey

I long to return to a time when your use of a Spanish domain will be disqualifying.

Patrick's thread here is a good explanation of what's going on, I was born in Canada to a US citizen mother.

I was born in the Netherlands to American parents. I got a US passport as a baby to fly home. Of course I did.

*nodding* Legally, the womb is sovereign American territory

looooooolllll

Overheard

My kids are the opposite. Born in America but also entitled to Canadian citizenship through me since I was born in Canada.

Yeah my daughter will be in their camp too!

Interesting alternate history: the Biden people really wanted to pick Tammy Duckworth as a running mate (citizen by dint of the same constitutional protections) but were worried about the inevitable nuisance lawsuit

John McCain was born in Panama (2 US citizen parents).

On a US Military base.

But this is where republicans logic is totally incoherent. They want to end birthright citizenship for, presumably, a system of blood rights like other countries. But they also are skeptical of anyone born abroad claiming those blood rights.

Ironically if jus solis citizenship were overturned and everyone had to reestablish their citizenship, people like Cruz whose birthright citizenship is jus sanguinis would have easiest path to resecuring their rights because they have the documentation to prove it.

now McCain, on the other hand, absolutely should not have been allowed to run for president: repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcont...

You’re already unnatural in my heart George

I'm choosing to read this as you imagining me doing unnatural things, in which case...thanks?

You are welcome
