Well said but trying to have an “inteligent” discussion with these citizen parent advocates is like talking to a demorat! They have an agenda and common sense doesn’t register in this case.
Right back attcha dude. *I've* studied this. I was just going over writings by James Madison, William Pickney, John Armstrong, and James Monroe early today.
Why did James Madison allow James McClure to remain in French Custody for three years? (Held by the French as an English Prisoner of War From April 12, 1807 - November 27, 1811)
If being born in the U.S. was the only requirement for citizenship, Madison would have issued immediate orders to Ambassador Armstrong to have the man released immediately!
The McClure incident was the very first case in which the Berlin Decree by Emperor Napoleon was used against the United States. (US Ship carrying English Cargo) I doubt Madison accidentally overlooked Mr. McClures situation.
