          @Hebahersi @BenjaminNorton yeah, Obama is a war criminal, but signature strikes are one thing, intentional targeting of children another.

          @SwordsBroken @BenjaminNorton her age means she could have been born in Yemen.

          @timbirdtalks @BenjaminNorton That doesn't matter. She had married parents 1 of which was US citizen (who spent at least 5 years in US, etc)

          @timbirdtalks @BenjaminNorton That's good enough for automatically gaining citizenship at birth through acquisition.
