Per this "new" doctrine, if you are in the military and stationed overseas and have a child, that child no longer has natural born citizenship. The child can be naturalized, but this removes all ability to claim the child is a natural born citizen - thus ineligible to run for president. Seems to me like it is an anti John McCain rule.

Conservatives truly support the troops

That was exact response my naval officer friend said to me.

Both my parents were born and raised in Philadelphia. My dad was in the Army for 21 years. I was born in Munich Germany in 1954 because that was where he was stationed at the time. So I'm wondering, if this was in effect at that time, what would my status be as a citizen? Germany doesn't have birthright citizenship (I looked it up a few years ago). Both my parents are US citizens. He was stationed at a US Army base. There's no way I would qualify for German citizenship. What would be my status re: citizenship, before the naturalization procedure? Would I be an infant citizen of no country? A baby without a country? This is just mind numbingly stupid.

The Trump administration scrambled Thursday to contain a political firestorm that erupted over a highly technical policy that officials say will affect the citizenship applications of “a very small” number of children born abroad to American servicemembers and federal employees.

Some initial news reports said the administration’s new policy would broadly bar such children from automatic U.S. citizenship, but federal officials said it would only affect children whose families fall into atypical categories: children adopted overseas by government workers or military members, children whose parents weren’t citizens when they were born, and children of Americans who didn’t meet the residency requirements needed to automatically transmit citizenship at birth.

Officials for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services estimated that the policy, which goes into effect Oct. 29, would affect 20 to 25 people a year, while the Pentagon said it may affect fewer than 100 a year.

One of the targeted blog posts, published on Wonkette, accused the African-American duo of helping to “prop up the most vile white supremacy.” Diamond and Silk’s mystery legal team wrote that the article “deliberately and maliciously slandered and defamed Diamond and Silk and the Diamond and Silk brand by deliberately and maliciously attaching their name to racist context.”

“The president paused in front of the exhibit that discussed the role of the Dutch in the slave trade. As he pondered the label I felt that maybe he was paying attention to the work of the museum. He quickly proved me wrong,” Bunch recalled in the memoir. “As he turned from the display he said to me, ‘You know, they love me in the Netherlands.’ All I could say was let’s continue walking.”

President Donald Trump, who called off his planned trip to Poland over the weekend to oversee the response to Dorian, said he would discuss possible evacuations Sunday in a scheduled meeting with officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA.

In addition to Florida - South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5. BE CAREFUL! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

@NWSBirmingham

Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east. #alwx
