Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture.

It's The Wall Builders Show on a Thursday, which means it's Foundations of Freedom Thursday.

We love our Thursdays and love your questions.

So if you haven't sent one in yet and you've got one on your mind about the Constitution

or some of the policies that are happening right now in Washington, D.C., or even in your local community.

Send those to us. Radio at wallbuilders.com. That's radio at wallbuilders.com. I'm Rick Green, and I'm here with David Barton and Tim Barton.

And Foundations of Freedom Thursday is meant to dive deeper into some of those topics that are of interest to the audience.

So that's why we let you guys drive the discussion with your question.

So thanks so much for sending those in.

By the way, while we're answering those questions today, if you'd like some deeper answers even beyond that, then go to our website, wallbuilders.com.

Lots of great articles and materials and then even full-blown courses that you can get right off of that website at wallbuilders.com. And then if you're just catching up on radio programs, you might have missed some earlier this week with our interviews or last week, and you can get those at wallbuilders.com. So wallbuilders. Show and wallbuilders.com. And let's dive in, guys. We got some great questions. Melinda's got the first one, and it's on dual citizenship. She said, hey, Walbilders team, first, thanks for all you do. Well, Melinda, thank you for thanking us. She said, I enjoy listening to the program and the encouragement you offer as we are seeing God work in our country. My question's about citizenship. When I was young, I remember hearing

that the United States does not recognize dual citizenship. Now it seems that I'm hearing this

term used frequently. Was I misinformed as a child? Does the U.S. actually allow dual citizenship?

If so, how does this work in regard to voting rights and the census, etc.? Thanks so much for the

opportunity to ask questions about our government and for helping average Americans understand the blessings we have as citizens of our, and then she said this in all caps, guys, constitutional republic. So thank you, Melinda, first of all, for knowing we're not a democracy and that we're a constitutional republic. And thanks for a great question. Guys, this is part of why I love Foundations to Freedom Thursday because I learn every week. And I don't know that I've ever considered this question. I don't know that I've ever heard this question. I'm like her. I don't remember anybody ever saying we don't recognize it. But I definitely feel like there's been a ramp up in the number of people I've heard, you know, be, you know, talk about being dual citizens.

In fact, I remember even Ted Cruz when he ran for president, apparently has Canadian citizenship and American citizenship or something to that effect.

So great question, Melinda. I'm tossing it to David and Tim. Go for it, guys.

Yeah, this is something that is not specifically addressed in the Constitution per se,

but it's addressed by a lot of statutes after that. And it's something that, at least in the current

era, it's become very popular to have multiple citizenships, dual citizenship. I just got back

from Armenia and I was with guys on that trip that had three citizenships and three countries.

And there's a lot in Europe that really do this.
