Peruvian-American Jim Himes is a hit in Lima!
ConnecticutBob.Com is a small corner of the Internets (since April 2006), where Progressive ideas are nurtured; all politically-minded people are welcome; and our junior senator, Joseph I. Lieberman, will never, ever post a comment here.

Yes! Incas is muy awesome-o too!
WUT
he's peruvian?
I never would have guessed
Hey fuzzleturtle!
Yeah, Jim was born in Peru to American parents. I have a few videos of him speaking his almost-fluent Spanish.
I wonder if being born in Peru would preempt him from running for President? I mean, McCain was born in Panama after all.
I THINK a child born to parents who are both US citizens is considered a natural born citizen, regardless of where that child was actually born
but what the hell do I know
Now if he can play a pan flute and dress up a guinea pig in a cute outfit I'd be impressed...!!
Heh heh...I always love a good "South Park" reference!
that was the best episode EVER
About the citizenship question, the link below goes to the relevant section of the US Code:

J. Himes is a natural-born citizen as defined by the US Code because he was a citizen at birth. He can run for President.
