Is it bothersome to you about americans living outside the US? ?

Question

i know all the legalities about them being able to vote but i am bothered that they can vote but don't have to live with whomever is elected.

how about giving them 1/4 or 1/2 vote?

Answer 1

as long as they have dual residency they can vote.  it doesn't bother me a bit personally, but if I were to live in another country why would i vote for people in the country i left?  must be a reason i chose to live in another country right?

Answer 2

1 vote

Answer 3

If the US allow the same there is no reason why other countries will not reciprocate in the same way.

Answer 4

....something like that has already been tried...

3/5ths.....

not gonna fly.

  but all joking aside...  I hear ya people who arent really living here should have less of a voice.    But... citizenship ... does that mean you'd pay taxes out of state? or are the Americans who live abroad not inclined to pay anything, yet still be considered Americans with a voice.   I cant answer that
