i was born in the US to an American father and a Scottish mother.
at birth, i was a US citizen and British by descent.
this makes me a native citizen, but not a natural born citizen...
just like 0bama (assuming he was born in HI).
to this day, i can still pick up my British passport if i wanted
Someone I know told me that Ireland claims or allows Irish citizenship for the children and grandchildren of their citizens who deny previous citizenship and accept U.S. citizenship. Question, when naturalized you do have to deny or something to that effect your former citizenship, don’t you? Anyway because this friends parents are naturalized U.S. citizens from Ireland, both her and her siblings along with all of their children are either considered Irish citizens or eligible for a “dual” Irish citizenship. Question, Do dual citizens pay taxes to both of the nations they pay allegiance to?
