@DrJohnEastman It does not depend. She was born in Oakland. Her parents were not foreign diplomats. She is over 35 and has lived in the US for over 14 years. The constitutional question of whether the U.S. born child of foreigners is a citizen by birth was settled by the Supreme Court in 1898.

Just a warning, "what are the chances of nuclear war?" (stemming from the Ukraine conflict) is a rabbit hole you may or may not want to go down, because it will probably occupy a lot of your brain space once you do.

A thing I've seen a lot is that the SPD helped put Hitler in power because they supported Hindenburg in the 1932 presidential election, rather than, ludicrously, Ernst Thälmann, the Communist candidate. This is just a ludicrous misunderstanding of the political situation.
