“US military bases abroad are American soil” Don’t think so. Guantanamo is a lease revocable at our option. All bases in Europe,Japan and South Korea are at the invitation of those countries and until 1985 at least, military personnel whose children were delivered abroad were told (perhaps in a permanent order) the children were not eligible.
I stand somewhat corrected. This is more problems for Cruz as in it may define natural born citzen..lean something new everyday.
Citizenship Many parents of children born abroad want to know if their children are U.S. citizens. The U.S. grants citizenship in one of three ways: naturalization, in which someone becomes a U.S. citizen sometime after birth; birth on U.S. soil; or birth to parents who are U.S. citizens. Contrary to popular belief, military bases are not considered “U.S. soil” for citizenship purposes. Therefore, the only way children born abroad can acquire citizenship at birth is through their parents. There are a wide variety of possible family arrangements, and each one has different citizenship implications. If the parents are married to each other, the child is a U.S. citizen if: Both parents are U.S. citizens, and at least one of the parents lived in the U.S. at some point before the child was born; or One parent is a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. citizen parent lived in the U.S. for at least five years prior to the child’s birth, at least two of which were after the age of fourteen. Time spent serving the military or as a military dependent overseas counts as “time spent in the U.S.” for this purpose. - See more at: http://military.findlaw.com/family-employment-housing/military-children-born-abroad.html#sthash.sZXAOmYf.dpuf
” military personnel whose children were delivered abroad were told (perhaps in a permanent order) the children were not eligible.”
Nope, and the military has no horse in that race. They don’t have jurisdiction over who is a citizen and who isnot.
