Probably should. After all, I have upwards of thirty relatives in or around Edmonton.Hypatia wrote:Final question: Who is going to come visit me in Edmonton?!
So I was doing some reading about U.S. citizenship requirements, and I found out that a baby born in Canada to U.S. citizens CAN TOTALLY BECOME PRESIDENT!!!!! How cool is that? Congress passed a law in 1790 declaring that "the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens" [Act of Mar. 26, 1790, ch. 3, 1 Stat. 104.]. The law has never been changed or challenged, and we've even had candidates born outside the U.S. run for president -- Barry Goldwater (born in AZ Territory), John McCain (born in the Panama Canal Zone), and GEORGE ROMNEY (born in the Mexican colonies)!Yarjka wrote:One more thing: you should definitely have a baby in Canada -- it costs nothing! And your baby will have the health care of a Canadian citizen, along with dual citizenship. So far, that has been the best part about Canada.
The only downside is that your baby can't become President of the United States.
