He’d win too. Why stop at being the head of a genocidal client state, when he can be the big dog?

    Yeah SCOTUS could definitely overrule any state laws, but it’s just another roadblock.

    I never really thought of the residency requirement that way though, I just kind of assumed it meant actually living here.

    I can’t find anything indicating whether he’s actually a citizen though. And I think it might be against Israeli law for the PM to hold dual-citizenship.

      Tracking his citizenship is VERY oddly hard to do for such a public figure.

      It seems though that he has renounced his US citizenship (he lived for many years as a teenager in Philly so he had to be at least a permanent resident to stay so many years) twice, at least, because he can’t hold it more than Israeli as PM as you said.

      I don’t know if he holds it currently, or how hard it would be to get it back (probably instantly given, but I dunno), but it is incredibly wild to me that his shit is so obfuscated online. There should be a clear line of events around his life and there really isn’t. You have to read his statements about himself which are unreliable because of course he might be lying.

      Unrelated though: motherfucker’s dad lived to 102 years old. Holy fuck. Bibi might be around for another 3 decades. Fucking hell.
