Under the present law a civilian may go to the old country. to Italy. for instance. and marry an Italian woman. and if that civilian lives in this country 5 years. after he is 16 or until he is 21. then that child born in Italy is a naturalized citizen of the United States. But the way the amendment was written that I was consulted about and agreed to. it would limit it now not to a civilian. as the present law does. but he has to be a citizen and a member of the armed forces. and that takes away the right of the civilian to go abroad and marry and his child become a citizen of the United States.
