That is, the CHILDREN were born outside the US, not the military personnel.

I was on active duty 1967 - 1995. Both my children were born In Germany in a military hospital. The hospital gave us a birth certificate which we took to the US Consulate in Frankfurt where we were issued a Consular Report of US Citizen Born Abroad.

My children are now in their late 50's, both of them keep the original of that document in safe deposit box and keep copies at home. Both have US passports. My son was on active duty for 21 years during which he held very high security clearances and special access

Neither my son or daughter are fans of Trump and are outspoken about it. Now they wonder if he will come after them because of their social media comments and attempt to revoke their citizenship.

This shit cannot stand. But it may.
