    Wife : "Honey, what are you doing in there?"

    So, technically, would the babies be American citizens, provided they could prove the donor's identity?

    I know there's a case right now regarding citizenship if an American woman gets a foreign embryo.

    Oh, science, why are you making this so hard?

    I thought that natural born citizenship was only bestowed to babies born on foreign soil if both parents were natural born citizens. So, regardless of the father's status, if the mother isn't a citizen, it doesn't matter.

    If we all get started right now, we could pay off the $1.5 trillion the U.S. owes to China by the end of the summer. Why are Romney and Obama not adopting this as the plan to lift America out of debt? "Erect a new future today! Rub out foriegn debt! America is in good hands!" That's a platform I could get behind.

    Incorrect. The birfer controversy depended on a loophole that is no longer valid: if only one parent was a US citizen, they had to be of majority age. We've lowered that to 18, as well as removing the majority requirement at all.
