He was born in Britain but he moved to America when he was four. He became an American citizen when he was seventeen. So culturally and legally he was American.

People who most embarrass the state you live in:

  1. Chief Justice Roy Moore

The former kickboxer (yes, really) turned lawyer turned judge turned Chief Justice who was impeached and removed for illegally parking a multiton granite statue of the 10 Commandments in the Supreme Court building, profiting from the video rights to doing so, and refusing to remove it. A few years later he ran for re-election to the same office he’d been removed from and won- he occupies it now.
