For a US citizen to also become a Canadian citizen, that US citizen will have to swear allegiance to the queen of England. Ain’t happening.
Nope,not true.Not *entirely* true at least.Having researched the subject I know a bit about it.
Focusing specifically on the US and Canada there are at least 3 different ways that a person can become citizens of both.
One is to have a parent who's a citizen of one having one of his/her children born in the other.One of many examples is a little town on the Vermont/Quebec border called Derby Line.I read that for years the closest hospital to the areas of Quebec close to Derby Line was in the United States.As a result many pregnant Canadian women gave birth in that US hospital.As a result,it's said that many people in that particular region are US *and* Canadian citizens.
Another example...I am a citizen of the US and Ireland.That's true because my mother was born in Ireland and under Irish law that automatically makes her *and* every one of her children...regardless of where they might have been born...Irish citizens.And given that I was born in the US I'm an American citizen.
And just for the record (in case you're wondering)...if the US and Ireland were ever to go to war I'd fight for the US...without a millisecond of hesitation.I feel absolutely no allegiance to Ireland.
How can the President of the US, and one who swears allegiance to the US such as a military service possibly also bear allegiance to another country??
Also, I don’t know about now, but a few years past,when a naturalized citizen took his/her oath of allegiance had to disclaim allegiance to any other country. There is a name for that denial but I just don’t recall it.
Not so — they have to swear alegiance to the Queen of Canada. The real problem is the “also” — chose one or the other.
