Legislation has been introduced into the Senate that would eliminate the right of American citizens to hold citizenship in another country. The only way to do so would be to give up your US citizenship.
It's a far cry from becoming legislation or even making it to the floor of the Senate, but it is something to be aware of.
Both Melania Trump and Barron Trump are dual citizens--the USA and Slovenia.
If find it difficult to understand how one can be both a Cleveland Browns’ fan (on the side of Goodness and Light) while at the same time being a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers (on the side of Badness). Yet I have come to terms with this and now can accept folks who are both— hence Dual fans. Likewise I can forgive the Seattle Mariners for stealing Naylor from the Guardians however politely it was done and whether intermediaries were involved.
For travelers, potentially losing the ability to double flag is not good. Not a fan of that, I daresay. It may make my learning French in order to more effectively boycott Ryanair and Airbnb more challenging. Although I’ve come to accept Ryanair’s low prices are a boon to some consumers and Airbnbs have their place so long as they are not gobbled up by foreigners and big money out of towners in city centers. What did Aristotle say? Moderation in all things — except German pretzels and beer. (They are just too tasty.)
“A survey of more than 500 political scientists finds that the vast majority think the United States is moving swiftly from liberal democracy toward some form of authoritarianism.”
Somehow I suspect the Pittsburgh Steelers outfit is behind this!
Happy travels.
David,
Keep your political thought to yourself on THIS forum. It is for travel, not politics.
Politics!
What?
I am pretty sure I posted about humor! Top shelf material too!
Happy travels!
David, I got you 😆
I think pretty much all the Americans (and Canadian) I've met that live over here have been dual citizens. Would be a bit of blow. Still, it would free them up from having to file taxes in the US even though they don't earn any money there.
David, your sportsball allegories go right over my head. I'd never heard of the Seattle Mariners until Webmaster's thread a short time ago. They sound like a proper bunch of salty seamen. My kinda guys.
The Mariners did well! The Guardians? Not so much… but respectable.
The Browns? They are a disgrace. So the first joke was this: Nobody in their right mind can be a browns fans. Hence, I’m crazy. Hilarious? See? Oh never mind….
Happy travels
David I think my salty seamen joke missed the mark and went right over your head. At my age, it might be an hour or two before I'll be ready to think of another.
Discretion is the better part of valor
David, I'm hoping you become a Calgary Flames fan so I can read your thoughts on the Edmonton Oilers.
What do the Edmonton Oilers and the Titanic have in common?
They both look good until they hit the ice!
As a straw poll, how many US citizens here would want to renounce citizenship if they permanently located to, say, the UK?
