It doesn't pertain to military personnel. It in no way changes what I posted or stated, it only confirms what I posted.The law Congress Passed conferred citizenship onto those that were born in the canal zone to one US citizen parent or members born in the Republic of Panama employed by the US Govt or the Panama Railway Company, it had no effect on those born to Military members in service to their govt.If that were the case, Congress would not have had to pass a law making the children born to U.S. military personnel in Panama citizens.
Which Congress did.
And before Congress did- those children were not born U.S. citizens.
Sigh. No.
