Your first language must not be english.
If you are born in a state. You are a citizen of that state.
If you are not born in a state, but you are an immigrant or born to U.S. parents you are a citizen of the federal government under the 14th amendment.
The United State is not a republic/democracy unto itself.
It is a republic of Republics.
The federal government is not suppose to be above all, the constitution is suppose to be above all.
The states were suppose to have equal standing with the federal government.
The constitution outlined specifically what power the federal government had... which were few... and left the rest to the states and the people of the states.
Note- not the people of the federal government.
Thanks for the clarification.
What I wanted to understand is how did John McCain's parents get their US citizenship? John got it because he was born abroad. What about his parents and grandparents? Were they all born abroad?
I mean if John McCain's parents were simply citizens of Louisiana (for example), then it would be impossible for John McCain to gain US citizenship at birth if neither of his parents got it, no matter where he is born.
Geez- we are in a lot of trouble. I just realized, most people think just like this guy, and thus, this is why we are in the shit we are in...
The reason why I think like this is very simple -- that is how things appear to be. Valid and useful information is a very good antishit medicine. Why not spread it. Otherwise most people will continue to think the way they have thought to this day.
