I resent the fact that you are insinuating that my beloved was born out of wedlock, or that my father-in-law--a US Army career man who served all over the world for decades, including tours in Viet Nam, and in Ethiopia prior to the Revolution--was some sort of carousing Casanova.
You had to build a hell of a bridge to come to the the extremely asinine conclusion that I was inferring your father to be a "carousing Casanova".
I was merely sharing that it "is" a bit of a normalcy over there, and for that reason, I have witnessed first-hand the product of separate citizenship and childbearing.
I am literally laughing so hard that you immediately went for the low road, assuming I was assaulting you, or your families character.
You have been reported to the moderator for this egregious personal attack...
Point out where it got personal.
I never even remotely inferred your father was, as you stated, a "carousing Casanova". Cool your temper, and stop and think rationally for a hot second.
Your father could have loved, and been dedicated to the same German woman for the entire duration of the tour. Nobody said, nor implied, that HE wasn't. I merely used a modern model of what occurs over there
right now to describe the similarities in process, not in romantic activity.
Jesus dude. Calm yourself.
That, and the fact that she was born in a private hospital off base, and delivered by private doctors, paid by private funds...
Was her mother a naturalized, American citizen at the time of birth, or was she a German citizen?
Incorrect.
Two American born soldiers, giving birth to a child during a tour of duty, irregardless of location, makes the baby a natural born American citizen. That IS the way it works. My wife is the product of two service members who both served on Kadena in the early 80's. She is a natural born, American citizen. She was born on Kadena, but regardless of location, she would
still be a natural born American citizen.
There is a HUGE difference between "naturalized" and "natural born", in terms of Constitutional eligibility for being President.
Yes, and it comes down to parents nationality at the time of birth.
Now, as I had tried to explain to you before you dove off the deep end, building bridges that aren't there.
When the two parents are not of the same citizenship, in this particular case a German, and a US soldier, then there is no clear, definable answer. The best term is "dual national", meaning able to claim both nations as parent nations, but cetainly not qualifying for the status of "natural born".
When the parents are BOTH American, they can fill out the appropriate forms confirming their children to be "Natural born American Citizens".
I have so many friends who had children while in, and hell, like I said, the wife is a "Natural Born American Citizen" by way of her parents being American Citizens, on deployment overseas.
My sweety, AND John McCain, are both NATURALIZED citizens. So is Arnold Schwarzenegger...
Your "sweety" maybe. You have to answer whether one of her parents were not a US Citizen.
The Constitution clearly states that a person must be NATURAL BORN to serve as President....
...and clearly you do not understand the process to get there.
Have you ever served?
Do you have any idea, whatsoever, what your inference is?
You are inferring that thousands upon thousands of children born on Military institutions, are never eligible to be POTUS.
Sorry bud. You get a big "X" for that claim.
