[edit] Hypothetical question

Let's say that a pregnant British woman was visiting the Kennedy memorial and went into sudden labor and gave birth to the child there. Since the US gives citizenship to anyone born in its territory, would that child have a legitimate claim to American citizenship? Thanks in advance for humoring me. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

The Kennedy Memorial is part of the United States of America that exists on the "island" of Great Britain (not a real island since being physically joined to France by the Channel Tunnel). That child would be just as much an American citizen as if it had been born anywhere else in the United States. Similiary, if a pregnant woman was visiting the James Cook Memorial which is a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland that exists in the islands of Hawaii and gave birth there (and incidently one of two British enclaves in North America surrounded by the United States the other of which is a small territory completely surrounded by Massachusettes(sp?)) then that child would be just as British as if it was born in any other part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland OR one of its overseas territories. British Hawaii proudly flies the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (one of 6 territories that do so: Great Britain (& associated islands), Ulster (& associated islands), Akrotiri, Dhekelia, Ascension Island (& Botswann(sp?) Bird Island), British Massachusettes(sp?) & said British Hawaii) and a British warship pays periodic visits (every 2 years or so) to this remote outpost of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Empire for maintenance purposes. I think we need a similar labelling setup as the virgin islands which are also divided between the two nations, the principal difference here is that in the virgin islands the two territories are dependent territories of the USA and UK where as in Hawaii the two Hawaiian territorites form part of the two nations!
