  • Republicans' Mexican-American Presidential Candidate: Mitt Romney?
    Republicans’ Mexican-American Presidential Candidate: Mitt Romney? By Ted J. Chiappari and Angelo A. Paparelli* Four years ago, one of the challenges to President Barack Obama’s Constitutional eligibility for the presidency as a “natural born Citizen” was based on his ostensible dual citizenship at birth and the divided loyalties1 that can result from multiple citizenships. More recently, Mitt Romney’s Mexican heritage made it into the news because of Newt Gingrich’s claim that Romney was “anti- immigrant.”2 Reports of Mitt Romney’s eligibility for Mexican citizenship appeared around the same time.3 With the suspension of Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign and Newt Gingrich’s concession that Mitt Romney will probably be the Republican Party’s 2012 candidate, Romney and Obama are beginning in earnest to highlight their differences. Since both candidates are facing the potential liability of having a father born abroad (George Romney in Mexico and Barack Obama Sr. in Kenya) from whom eligibility for dual citizenship may flow, it is unlikely that either candidate will wish to highlight his opponent’s transnational ties. If they did, as unlikely as it may be, a brief reflection on the issue could result in a new appreciation of the intricacies of the U.S. citizenship laws. In the wake of the last presidential election, we explored the complexities of U.S. citizenship law in connection with the candidacies of both Senator John McCain – born in the Panama Canal Zone – and then President-Elect Obama.4 Given Mitt Romney’s birth in Detroit, no one is questioning that he is a “natural born Citizen” eligible to be President pursuant to Article II of the 1 Competing loyalties have long been a concern in policy and legal arguments against dual citizenship.

  • Legal Status of the Virgin Islands Divorces
    LEGAL STATUS OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS DIVORCES By VimN D. CALLoWAY, JR.* L Introduction In recent months it has become increasingly popular among United States citizens seeking divorces to forsake the time-honored trek to Reno, and head instead for the outlying territory of the Virgin Islands. This change in direction of the so called "divorce trade" is due to the comparative ease with which one can obtain a divorce decree and the attractions of the Islands. For those who can afford the trip, it is thought that two birds can be killed with one stone, so to speak: a divorce obtained and a restful vacation enjoyed. By provision of Congress, the Legislative Assembly of the Virgin Islands was set up to enact legislation applicable to the Virgin Islands as a whole,' the District Court of the Virgin Islands being given jurisdiction of all cases of divorce and annulment of mar- 2 riage. The current divorce law was enacted by the eighth Legislative Assembly of the Virgin Islands on December 18, 1944; approved December 29, 1944, by the acting Governor; and went into effect on January 28, 1945. The law gives as grounds3 for either party to obtain a legal separation, or to have their marriage contract dis- solved, at the plantiff's option, for: adultery, cruelty, impotency, desertion for one year, habitual drunkenness for one year, convic- 4 tion of a felony, insanity, and incompatibility of temperament. If the marriage was not celebrated in the district of the suit, before commencing action, the plaintiff must have been an inhabi- tant for a six-week period; such period being declared "Sufficient to give the court jurisdiction without regard to the place where the marriage was performed or the cause of action arose."'5 When the dissolution judgment has become final, and after the expiration of * 2nd year law student, Duke University; A.B.

    Definitions of Rural: A Handbook for Health Policy Makers and Researchers Thomas C. Ricketts, Ph.D. Karen D. Johnson-Webb, M.A. Patricia Taylor, Ph.D. June 1, 1998 A Technical Issues Paper prepared for the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy Health Resources and Services Administration US DHHS Prepared under Contract Number HRSA 93-857(P) From the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to the North Carolina Rural Health Research Program Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill June 1998 Introduction “…the perceived magnitude of rural health care problems and the impact of any change in public policy depend on how ‘rural’ is defined.”—Maria Hewitt (1992) In developing policies to address problems of access and health status for rural people in the United States, policy makers must specify the definition of “rural.” At the national level, there are two major ways to define rural: the Office of Management and Budget metropolitan- nonmetropolitan classification of counties and the US Bureau of the Census classification of areas and population. Neither of these two principal, nationally-applicable definitions completely and adequately captures the essence of what is rural nor provides a universally-applicable method that precisely separates urban from rural populations or places. This handbook was commissioned by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy as part of its continuing efforts to support policy-relevant rural health services research and analysis. It describes these two major methods of describing rurality, the OMB and Census methods, and major variations of those methods. The report is meant to assist policy makers in identifying classification methods they can use to target programs and policies to rural problems and to guide policy analysts in understanding how to delineate urban and rural populations and areas.
