Ireland: Automatically grants citizenship to the child of an Irish-born citizen. A person can also claim descent based on a grandparent or great-grandparent as long as a grandparent had also claimed descent on or before the date of the person's birth.
Italy: For those born after 1948, citizenship is granted if their father or mother was a citizen at the time of the applicant's birth. Citizenship is also granted under these conditions:
Father is an American and the paternal grandfather was a citizen at the time of the father's birth.
If born after 1948, when the mother is American and the maternal grandfather was an Italian citizen at the time of the mother's birth.
Paternal or maternal grandfather was born in America and the paternal great-grandfather was an Italian citizen at the time of the grandparent's birth.
United Kingdom: Descent based on a grandparent allowable only in exceptional cases.
Greece: Native-born parent or grandparent.
Latvia: Native-born parent.
Cyprus: Father was a citizen.
Holland, Finland, Germany and Norway: Applicant must have been born in wedlock with one parent a citizen, or he can claim descent based only on the mother.
All other European Union countries: A parent was a citizen of the given country. People who can't claim descent can apply after living in the country for a certain number of years.

Suzanne has a EU passport mostly so she can be a self-important, wine bar snot. Apparently, she doesn't realize that the US is 50 "countries".
How does this dual citizenship work? Can one individual hold the passport of two countries? I thought that was illegal.
DUAL CITIZENSHIPS should be made ILLEGAL for U.S. citizens — and that would solve A LOT of problems for the American citizen and taxpayer.
I think all the "economy is falling" is just the Lamestream Media helping the Democrats get more seats in Congress.
It used to be true that one could claim Irish citizenship through a great-grandparent but Ireland changed the law about 20 years ago.Now you can do so through a parent (actually,if either of your parents was an Irish citizen when you were born you're automatically a citizen) or a grandparent.
This is actually an excellent idea. Democrats get to move to a place where their liberal views will have plenty of company, without polluting our voting booths. This is an idea whose time has come.
Not surprising. We’ll see more of this until some U.S. bureaucrat sees it as “a problem”.
BTW, Cambodia will sell you citizenship as an investor for about $50K, and Malaysia has a quasi-citizenship retirement program for $35K in *invested* funds, meaning the funds must be invested in a Malaysian bank for a couple years, then you regain access to them to start a business or buy a home or etc. At some point in the process you get a Malaysian passport.
"My dad was actually the one who put a bug in my ear about the whole citizenship thing. He said that Europeans are more interested in the quality of life than the quantity, and that it was a good place to have and raise children because of the way their social systems work. I don't care much about the child-rearing part, but I would gladly trade in some of my material possessions for a little flat, a scooter and more vacation."
“She plans to move to Paris, brush up on her French and engross herself in the European business world.”
Sounds like another upper middle class, white, “progressive.”
Hey, these twits always rant and rave about how Europe is so great. Let them leave!

Bottom line, let the grass is greener on the other side of the fence libtards leave.
Having traveled myself I can unequivocally say.
THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE TO LIVE THAN THE USA.
I can see this as an attraction for young people. My niece just got back from a semester in Europe and she was surprised to find the Europeans are proud of their countries. She said none of the Americans were. She found their patriotism attractive.
Fine, why the hell don’t these people just go back to those countries and stay and denounce their American citizenship if we are so damned bad.
Hmmmmmmmmmm....I’m a military brat, born in Germany...I guess that qualifies???
Ah, the relaxed, peaceful, more civilized life of a continent that enjoyed near-constant war and violence until the United States, at its own expense, began securing it.
The Supreme Court has basically set the standard here. The US Constitution enumerates who is an American. Other countries have their own criteria. So, being a “dual national” is for most people an accident of birth. I am American, born in the USA to an American born mother (who’s father was a career Air Force officer). But my mom married a French man, and French law states that the children of a French father are French. Shortly after my birth my father, who has since naturalized American, filed my birth certificate at the French Consulate.
Anyone who has a nationality in addition to their American can file the birth certificates of their children at the Consular’s office and it will make obtaining passports and proving citizenship much easier. If my father had not filed the records when I was born, then I would have had to prove his citizenship, his marriage to my mother and my birth to them both during their marriage.
For the record I have had my French passport for over 15 years now, renewed it once, but I have never in my life ever used it. And I can’t imagine going to Europe at this point, trying to exchange dollars to Euros. Unless they were paying me in Euros to go there, I don’t think I would be willing to “try my luck” in the job market over there right now. And starting a business - fuhgettaboutit! Too many regulations and they are almost all in a foreign language!
