Please read the embedded Task and Purpose article and not the tweet. The article is correct in all the important details. The tweet is not.

How is the citizenship of the servicemember in question an important detail?

If the servicemember isn't a US citizen, they can't confer birthright US citizenship to their biological child when the child is born.

Or I may be misunderstanding the question.

Lemniscate Blue posted:

Up until now, non-citizen US servicemembers and their families living overseas have automatically counted as "residing in the US" when their children were born (like all servicemembers overseas), conferring citizenship.
(But only after a parent gains citizenship)

Lemniscate Blue posted:

Servicemembers who are citizens confer citizenship on to their children no matter whether they are counted as "residing in the US" or not.
Because that law says that being a service member/govt employee overseas counts as residing in the US.
Unfortunately, the "Children of newly naturalized citizens born outside the United States and residing permanently in the United States" law above does not have that same language in the law itself - it was supplied by an agency interpretation that the agency has now taken back.

Okay, so the loophole for this is that a lovestruck grunt or Noble will just sneak their girlfriend on base when she goes into labor, endangering both of them needlessly, simply so the child will be born on sovereign US soil and thus have birthright citizenship. Cool. :suicide:

There's no such thing as overseas bases are sovereign US soil (?) for geographical birthright citizenship.
Unless :thejoke:

only US consulates and embassies are sovereign US soil.

Not even them. They have some sovereign-like immunities (Articles 21-25), but they are not US sovereign soil/territory. Babies born in US Embassy bathrooms do not get geographic birthright citizenship.

I didn’t really want to say it, but you could glean that data from known satellite orbits/positions referenced against the local time of day to get a reasonable guess. If you knew the height of the tower, you could work the trigonometry to get an exact angle that would probably point at a single satellite when combined with the other data.

Exactly (part of) the problem.

Breach comes from break
Breeches are pants (britches is an American form)- clothes that cover your rear end. The breech is the rear end end of a gun.

e: ok, technically, the civilian isn't violating the Geneva Convention. They're violating a law that the country they are a citizen of must have enacted in order for that country to not be in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Yep, it would be the citizen's country that would in violation of the Convention.

Redcrossgamergate and their cry for ethics in humanitarian organizations is about the silliest reference possible.

it could be a gopher tortoise, which are at risk of becoming endangered, which would really gently caress training exercises in their habitats

e: beaten, but, it's good

It's a desert tortoise, which is federally threatened, which gets it protected on bases. The gopher tortoise has been proposed to be listed as threatened in Florida, which would mean similar protections on bases in FL (on top of all the other threatened and endangered species there)
Just to make things coal clear, the gopher tortises are also the name of the genus that includes the desert and gopher tortises.

Did you ever think that maybe sending out a MASS EMERGENCY ALERT saying

"GUNMAN IS DRIVING AN RCMP CRUISER AND WEARING AN RCMP UNIFORM"

might lead to problems WRT reporting while the law enforcement agencies of the entire province were driving around hell's half-acre?

We need to ban the RCMP so tragedies like this can't happen anymore.
