As a US Foreign Service brat that was born a US citizens overseas, I've always considered myself ineligible to become US President. S.Res.511 seems to open it up to US military brats. Perhaps, we're next. (Personally, I'd accept anyone born a citizen [and resided 14 years in the US, etc ])

S.Res.511 A resolution recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.

Introduced: April 09, 2008 Status: Voted on by Senate Latest action: Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. Sponsor: Sen. Claire McCaskill [D, MO]

Brat be decapitalized[edit]

Seems to make sense... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.49.16.40 (talk) 04:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A U.S. term or international term?[edit]

There seems to be a disagreement if the article is about U.S. foreign service children or of the children of all foreign service personnel around the globe. I think it is the former - I am not aware of the usage outside of a U.S. foreign service context. I reverted an edit some time ago to make it again a clearly U.S. foreign service term. Does anyone know of its usage otuside of the U.S. foreign service?Rockford1963 (talk) 16:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, and there are very few reliable sources to establish its use sufficiently. Until some can be found, I'Ve adapted the first line of this page to explicitly state "In the US..." Ranger Steve (talk) 20:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
