Only Constitutional ones.

 

Please enlighten me.

As far as I know, it makes no difference. The situations are completely different though.

 

Through birth abroad to one United States citizen

 

For persons born on or after November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:[4]

 

1. One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born;

2. The citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before his or her child's birth; and

3. At least 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday.

 

A person's record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy, is proof of his or her citizenship. Such a person may also apply for a passport or a Certificate of Citizenship to have a record of his or her citizenship. Such documentation is often useful to prove citizenship in lieu of the availability of an American birth certificate.

 

Different rules apply for persons born abroad to one U.S. citizen before November 14, 1986. United States law on this subject changed multiple times throughout the twentieth century, and the law as it existed at the time of the individual's birth controls.

The bolded is false and you know it.

 

I don't know what the maternal grandmother will say. However, why is one grandmother more credible than the other?

I'll ask you the same question. If his paternal grandmother says he was born in Kenya why is that not good enough?

^If his mother was an American citizen, it wouldn't matter would it?

 

I admit, I'm not real up to speed on theses guidelines....

So you take everyone at their word?

Yes it would, he was born before 1986.

I was just comparing the two situations saying that McCain was born abroad, as well.

McCain was also born on US soil if he was born on a Military base.

So you take everyone at their word?

 

What reason do you have to doubt her?

McCain was also born on US soil if he was born on a Military base.

 

But it doesn't make a difference! If you are born to an American anywhere in the world, you are an American.

I don't know...I guess it depends on what others say, too. If the grandmothers (and his maternal grandfather) claim different birth, who is right? Again, I haven't heard anything said by the maternal grandparents.

What reason do you have to doubt her?

 

Someone is lying. I feel like she has more motive to lie than the maternal grandparents.

Yes, it does if you were born to that citizen before 1986!

Really?

I read the link. Highlight for me where is says "she doesn't like black people."

The bolded is false and you know it.

No I don't. But my post was in response to TB&G's post above (bolded part).

 

I don't know where he was born. But I do find it funny that he will not prove it.

Why?
