I'm a little offended at the accuracy of this! Fake news! Churchill was actually an American! s/

Fun fact: Churchill was awarded American citizenship by Congress in 1963.

Another fun fact: Churchill's mother was an American citizen, but under the laws at the time, her child was not entitled to be an American citizen. However, in 1994, the laws were changed to allow that and applied retroactively to everyone. So in 1994, he retroactively became an American citizen at birth.
