Gender Discrimination in Citizenship Case
Posted on Nov 15, 2010 4:20pm PST
The Supreme Court is reportedly discussing gender discrimination in citizenship cases. The issue at hand is when children born of mixed marriages abroad can claim U.S. citizenship. Congress reportedly made it easier for unwed American mothers to pass on their citizenship than unwed American fathers. The mother reportedly had to live in the U.S. for at least one year while a father would have to live in the U.S. for at least five years after age 14.
