House: I quite like Cuddy's demands that House do more student lectures. The "Three Stories" ep was terrific and he made the students sit up and listen. They even tracked him down after the break: "Found him!"
and more clinic hours always leads to comedy gold "I brought the jelly with me."

House: Though it's forcing House to do clinic hours that started this whole mess in the first place. I don't know why they continue to force him into situations where he deals with, you know, people. But I'm avoidy that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure diplobrats are US citizens even if they're not born in an Embassy hospital.
At least one of his parents is American, though, right? I think Nutty was trying to clear up the soil thing.
Canada, at least in the early 70s, did not extend citizenship to diplobrats born on their soil. My sister is still pissed about that.

Don't you also run into the complexities of dual citizenship with folks born overseas but of American parents (or vice-versa?) I've never quite understood that. It's why that one chick from Sierra Leone could skate for France during one of the Olympics or something like that, my memory ain't that great. I know it's been used by other athletes, just don't remember which ones.

Nor to children born outside Canada to Canadian mothers. Fathers, yes. Mothers, no. That policy has since be de-troll-logicked.

One of my cousins was born somewhere in Scotland in the late 50s/early 60s and had some sort of weird dual citizenship going on for a while. I can't recall how that worked out.

Now I'm wondering if the same cousin may have had Canadian eligibility as well. I don't know when/if my uncle ever changed his citizenship. Huh.

Right. The citizenship thing is one issue, and the eligible-for-president thing is another. They correlate, but aren't quite the same issue. (I remember talking about this a lot when Madeleine Albright was Secretary of State, because she wasn't born a citizen, and we were all like Damn! Our closest woman to the White House, and she's born a furriner! When will our chance come!!)
