Re: citizenship to children born in USA

I remember when the King of Tonga's wife came to
Hawaii to give birth. According to the constitution
any child born in the U.S. is automatically a U.S.
citizen.  *Except* to those born to foreign
diplomats.  Would she be considered a "diplomat?" If
not, that means the child is a U.S. citizen, right?
So, why did she travel to the Hawaii to give birth?
Just curious Eddie


Because she can. She has to do it early because the low
airplane pressure could lead to a still born. But here
in Hawaii, she may be well prepared in case any
unforseen problems occurr in the pregnancy. We'll never
know the reason. Her own physician may be reccommending
this.
