Reply #33: Reasonable statement

[Book Lover]

A) Please see my post #27 where I discuss the relative merits of birthplace against residency.

B) I would also say that a native birth does not preclude a foreign nation from buying off a candidate in any case. For instance, we know that the Bush family and the family running the government in Arabia are very close both personally and business-wise. How do we know the Bushes' true allegiance?

C) Once a foreign-born person becomes a citizen, they are required to forswear any allegiance they had to their country of birth. One could say that that addresses your concern about where one's allegiance lies.
