Tennessee tells the U.S. Navy veteran he's not an American citizen and cancels his driver's license. Many Military US CITIZENS HAVE CHILDREN IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THIS COULD BE A BIG ISSUE.

BOTH PARENTS ARE US CITIZENS. O'CONNOR WAS BORN WHILE THEY WERE IN CANADA.

State of Tennessee tells the U.S. Navy veteran he's not an American citizen and cancels his driver's license.

"Your father was a U.S. citizen?" We asked O'Connor.

"He was," he told me.

And I asked, "Your mother was a U.S. citizen?"

"She was," he replied.

And since both of his parents were U.S. citizens, and you can see that right there on his birth certificate, the law stated O'Connor is a U.S. citizen, too.

His American-born parents had temporarily relocated to Canada and soon after O'Connor was born, the family moved back to the U.S.

"They said, 'No, that’s no good. We shouldn’t have given you the license in the first place,'" O'Connor recalled.

He continued, "And they just canceled my license right then and there."

Suddenly the Navy vet could no longer drive, couldn't get on a plane, and won't be able to vote in the upcoming elections. In the state's eyes, he isn't an American and O'Connor said that just about broke him.

After a long career as a commercial truck driver, it may not surprise you that O'Connor drives a big truck. Only these days, he's not actually driving it. Legally, he can't.

"It’s like your country don’t want you. I’ve tried to do things the right way all my life. And now it’s like I’m nothing," O'Connor said dejectedly.

So we took O'Connor's story to Jeff Long, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

As to why the state took away his license and has refused to renew it, the Department cites a law that Tennessee lawmakers passed in 2018, after O'Connor got his original Tennessee license, that says that people who are not U.S. citizens cannot get a license in Tennessee even if they've had a license in another state, as O'Connor did.

But as we have pointed out to state officials, that law applies to people who are not U.S. citizens and, again, O'Connor is.

This Navy Vet Citizen lost his DL, and has all his paperwork, stating he is a US Citizen. State says Navy veteran is not an American citizen and cancels driver's license

State says Navy veteran is not an American citizen and cancels driver's license.

Please contact McMinn County Mayor's Office (423) 745-7634, GOVERNOR BILL LEE. Tennessee State Capitol Nashville, TN 37243-0001, Phone 615/741-2001, Fax615/532-9711. Let’s see if we can get Mr. O’Connor’s situation on a fast track.

My husband is a 20-year USN VETERAN. His youngest daughter was born in Japan. She had a Japanese Birth Certificate, and a US Consulate one. A US passport, with a 3-day-old baby picture, that was accepted with the return to the next duty station in the US.

This can become a big issue for Military families whose children are born in a foreign country. Or other BOTH US CITIZENS who had children born abroad. It is a complicated issue to be sure. The fact Mr. O’Connor’s other documents Do state he is a US CITIZEN IS A UNDENIABLE FACT.

My husband's youngest daughter was born in Japan, he is a 20-year USN VETERAN and was stationed there. She had both a Japanese BC, a US Consulate BC, and a US Passport at three days old. The statue needs to be fixed.

At 18 she had to choose which citizenship she wanted. US of course.

Times were different then. I had to replace my crumbling 1948 Birth Certificate, in 1996. I was born in Baltimore, MD. I was living in Tennessee at the time, and still do. The copy has an official stamp. I’ve also been through the TBI and FBI background checks in 1997. Then again under the Patriot Act.

My youngest son lost his. It had to be replaced by the State of Indiana. Looks totally different than the original. Came with a large-sized one and a wallet-size certificate.

The November 5th election may be the most important one since the Revolutionary War when one-third of the population won our independence from Great Britain.

What it takes to be considered a US CITIZEN. PER THE US CONSTITUTION.
Per the 14th Amendment https://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi-html/

The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this

way: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the

jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State

wherein they reside.” But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the

Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills

in the gaps. The Constitution authorizes the Congress to do create clarifying

legislation in Section 5 of the 14th Amendment; the Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows
