Do you still trust Hillary?

I am surprised that you can vote in 2 different countries. Sort of not real loyal to either or both. I guess this is something I have overlooked all these years of mine.

And many of the changes to Obama care are even supported by some of the Democrats too. Also waiting for the Supreme Court to make another of their decisions soon, May or June.

Why is that surprising? It would be different if I lived in a country that was not a friend to the US. I am a US citizen so am entitled to vote in the US. I am also a UK citizen and one of the reasons I became one was so I could vote in the country that I have made my home.

I am not anti-America and I vote because my family including my granddaughters live there and what happens affects them. The UK is my home and what happens here affects me.

Maybe you are too young to remember and I did not know what has happened in recent years.

(from within document)

As a result, the theory of perpetual allegiance largely fell out of favor with governments during the late 19th century. With the consensus of the time being that dual citizenship would only lead to diplomatic problems, more governments began prohibiting it, and revoking the nationality of citizens holding another nationality. By the mid-20th century, dual nationality was largely prohibited worldwide, although there were exceptions. For example, a series of U.S. Supreme Court rulings permitted Americans born with citizenship in another country to keep it without risking their U.S. citizenship.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3]

At the 1930 League of Nations Codification Conference, an attempt was made to codify nationality rules into a universal worldwide treaty, the 1930 Hague Convention, whose chief aims would be to completely abolish both statelessness and dual citizenship. It proposed laws that would have reduced both, but in the end was ratified by only 20 nations.[SUP][2]

However, the consensus against dual nationality began to erode, and by the late 20th century, it was becoming gradually accepted again,[SUP][2][/SUP] with many states lifting restrictions on dual citizenship. For example, the British Nationality Act 1948 removed restrictions on dual citizenship in the United Kingdom, the 1967 Afroyim v. Rusk ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court prohibited the U.S. government from involuntarily stripping citizenship from Americans over dual citizenship, and the Canadian Citizenship Act, 1976, removed restrictions on dual citizenship in Canada. The number of states allowing multiple citizenship further increased after a treaty in Europe requiring signatories to limit dual citizenship lapsed in the 1990s, and countries with high emigration rates began permitting it to maintain links with their diasporas.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]
