32. Or mother. If either parent is American, the child is American.

Wed Jul 1, 2026, 11:31 AM

Wednesday

I am thinking of my nephews who were born abroad, but both parents were Americans in their case.

My brother was in the Navy. One nephew was born in a US hospital in Tripoli when my brother was stationed in Greece. The other was born in Japan when my brother was based there for operations on Vietnam.

So, technically, they were born on American soil at US bases.

But many cases of people entering the US from other countries are not so clear cut.
