Ok. So should that American child lose her citizenship in America because of choices that her mom made? No. I don’t see how that’s fair.
Let’s look at it from another direction. Mom and dad are American citizens. Mom kidnaps child to Venezuela and keeps her there, despite the objections of the American father.
Fast forward 15 years. Mother dies. What happens to the child?
Please read my original post. You are going off on wild tangents.
