•One parent is a foreign national and the other parent is a U.S. citizen; and |

|

•The U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States for at least 5 years, including at least 2 years after 14 years of age. |

Time abroad counts as physical presence in the United States if the time abroad was: |

•As a member of the U.S. armed forces in honorable status; |

|

•Under the employment of the U.S. government or other qualifying organizations; or |

•As a dependent unmarried son or daughter of such persons. |

The data on Capt. Groberg's father is that he was born in Indiana to a Swedish-born father and a U.S. born mother in 1938. So, unless he left the United States prior to 1943 and didn't return until after Florent Groberg's birth, Capt. Groberg should be a U.S. Citizen by birth.

Florent Groberg does not have dual French and American citizenship. He renounced his French citizenship to join the U.S. Army as an officer.[1]
"Groberg graduated in 2006 with a degree in criminology and criminal justice and his name in several distance running record books. It took two years for him to join the Army in part because he needed to decide whether he would renounce his French citizenship, a requirement to have the security clearance of an Army officer, he said. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2001, a few months before graduating from high school."[1]
