I was born in Germany. My mother never became an American citizen. My father was American. English was my fifth language. According to my AMERICAN birth certificate, I was born an American citizen. My passport says the same thing. My German birth certificate said nothing about citizenship.

So, using the logic of some here, I should not be allowed to run for a Federal office. The fact that I'm American from birth is irrelevant. The fact my father and my brother served in the U.S. military is irrelevant. The fact that I lived my entire childhood traveling from country to country and state to state is irrelevant. What is relevant is that I didn't serve in the military, I wasn't born in the USA and my mother wasn't a U.S. citizen. I sincerely hope the U.S. Supreme Court disagrees with you. I would hate to think I've spent my entire life under the illusion that I was entitled to the full rights and privileges of being American and now discover that I'm second class and just along for the ride
