“But the Canal Zone was US Territory.”
Stop and take a deep breath; and listen to what I have to say.
Yes, the Canal Zone was U.S. territory, but the Panamanians considered it THEIR territory. Therefore, citizenship laws apply to anyone born in the ex Canal Zone even when it was U.S. territory. This was one way Panama, like a child, was trying to stick it to the U.S. Only a child can understand such “reasoning.”
But it worked out just find. Since those of us who are still here, we can vote; and vote we do for those who appear to be pro-U.S.
“As for me I was born in third world crap hole in South America.”
And? You can still run for president.
“As for me, both my mother and father were born in the US however, I was not and am thus a naturalized citizen.”
Take that stupid piece of paper saying you are a “naturalized citizen” and tear it up and burn it. It has no value today. I know all about that “naturalized citizen” piece of paper crap.
“The Panamanians, if they wish could grant automatic citizenship to those born in Mongolia.”
Since they are not born in Panamanian territory, their citizenship can be taken away.
How do you expect me to vote for you for president if you can’t allow yourself to understand this very simple stuff?
So there. :)
As for the naturalized citizen B.S., there is debate of whether a person born the US parents is actually a "Natural Born" citizen. And thus far USSC has never defined exactly what makes a natural born citizen.
