@arcana @feld @lain @maija @Anonsfw our citizenship stuff diverges from england legally, for example people have used english common law arguments to the supreme court and failed, like u.s. vs wong kim ark.

@arcana @Anonsfw @feld @lain @maija btw though re mccain the law I cited made canal zone births citizens but mccain was definitely a citizen by virtue of being born to american servicemen, I don't want to give the impression he wasn't american for a year
