Again, a mistake by an industry association in a convention program is
hardly an issue

Their only mistake was taking you at your word.

Very funny. They simply misprinted my title in a program. When a convention
has 10,000 attendees and about 300 different speakers and panelists, many
errors happen. Nobody int he industry gave it a second thought.

Really? You mean it didn't cause the sky to fall? lol

The "misprinted" your article, eh? Funny how lies can cause "typos",
isn't it?

As mentioned, it was my baptismal name... given to me by my godparents on
that occasion.

I suppose they also named you "President"?

And your point is? You don't like the name? Tough.

What name?




She is a born dual national, who never exercised her rights to
American
citizenship. Not exercising a right is not the same as not having it.

But above you say she was never an American citizen. Better get your
story straight.

It is perfectly straight. She was born a US citizen, under US law.

You're the one who said she wasn't a citizen.

Under
Ecuadorian law, she was not a citizen until age 18 (many Latin American
nations do not consider people citizens until they reach the age of
majority... including Mexico, I believe). At age 18, she got an Ecuadorian
passport, sufficient in ecuador to be considereed ONLY an Ecuadorian
national. US law saw her as a dual national.

Yes, and as you yourself pointed out, have a right to citizenship and
exercising it are not the same.

So far, no lie exists. I stated my elder daughter was born a dual
national
(she was Ecuadorian at birth is a true statement. She was American at
birth
was a true statement) and chose, later, which nation she would carry a
passport from. Seems simple to me.

"David Eduardo: ...She has never been a US citizen. "

Correct. She had a right to citizenship, but lived in Ecuador where she did
not exercise it. She swore citizenship to Ecuador at age 18; one country
considers here only a national, and the other considers her a dual
national. In other words, there are two answers to this question, depending
on whose laws you folow.

There are multiple answers to the question all right...depending on
what you confabulate on any given occasion.
