Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edwin Borchard
Theodore Roosevelt thanks Edwin Borchard for his letter. Roosevelt does not believe that a foreign power can impose dual citizenship on American citizens by its own legislation. He acknowledges that it can be done for the sons of a Frenchman, Germans, or Englishman, and for their grand-sons and great-grandsons as well. Roosevelt believes it comes down to a nation’s attitude, rather than international law, when determining such questions.
