This story was told to me when I was young. My great aunt was born and raised in New England and voted there all her life. After her husband retired, they planed to make a trip to Europe. When they applied for their passports, her husband got his with no problems. However, my aunt was informed that she was NOT a U.S. citizen and thus could not obtain a U.S. passport. She had to go through the naturalization process and be sworn in as a "new" U.S. citizen. Now to explain the mistery; my uncle, at the time of their marriage, was a Canadian citizen. According to the law at that time (as I was told), my aunt lost her U.S. citizenship. After their marriage, my uncle became a naturalized citizen. Now my question, is this possible? I've been told that the law that applied in this case has since been changed. Does anyone know if this was ever the case?
