I think I'm on to something questioning George Santos' citizenship

I've been asking over and over; do we really know where this guy was born? I couldn't find a single answer to this question until now in Daily Kos. There's nothing about it in his Wikipedia page or any other article I've seen.

Here's a link https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/12/24/2143670/-Is-George-Santos-A-Citizen

Former coworkers at Dish say he told them he was born in Brazil.

There's this from Josh Marshall at TPM:

"My assumption is that Santos is a citizen. But based on my reading of the available reporting there’s no actual evidence that Santos was born in Queens or anywhere in the United States, other than Santos’s say-so, which is obviously worth less than nothing. And there’s at least some evidence – Ms. Hurdas’s recollection – that he told others he was born in Brazil."

And here's the Constitutional requirement for House of Representatives:

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. Art. I Section 2

So if we really don't want him seated, this is the way to go. If he was born in Brazil, was he ever naturalized? If so, when. Let's become George Santos Birthers!

1. Hmm. Foreign born, also says he's been to Russia "many times". And received cash from

Russian oligarch connections. This is a national security problem, right here. He needs to be prevented from taking office--he's so completely phony in all aspects he's almost a hologram. We already have Gaetz Boebert and Greene as Russian assets in Congress, they're bad enough.

2. If he can't present a US passport, we need to know why

Either he can't get one because he's not a citizen. (So he's ineligible to be a US Representative.)

Or he's got one and it's in a name other than George Santos. (That would mean he entered under a fictitious name.)

Either way, he can't be sworn in as a new Representative on Wednesday Jan. 3rd.

3. You Know If The Shoe Were On The Other Foot & Santo's Was Elected As A Dem.......

the Repugs would be relentless and be complaining non-stop to make sure this guy would never be seated in Congress.

I wonder what kind of pressure will be exerted on Santo's vote for the Speaker.

I can see him being told - we'll protect your seat - if you vote the right way for speaker.

Long or short form, his choice.

Whatever the difference is. Didn't they always want Obama's long form birth certificate?

9. Is there not a government agency

which checks things like this? I seem to recall that there is an agency which decides if someone is eligible to be president - although it may only do so if a candidate is challenged.

11. That's what I can't figure out. He'd have to provide official identification and

citizenship paperwork to some agency at some point...right? I mean, many regular jobs require background checks to get hired.

18. Where's the process requiring validation of citizenship for candidates?

Most of the problems we are experiencing are the result of failures for decades to ensure that preventive processes were in place.

This is a painful learning experience but hopefully it will bring about the necessary improvements.

And those claims about his maternal gtandparents being Belgian immigrants who fled the devastation of WWII Europe???? Reports by The Foward show they were born in Brazil.
