I wonder if he is the first Head of State of a foreign country who is also a US Citizen and actively participates in voting here.

Does Putin count?

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

No, he doesn't get a formal vote, he just gets permanent veto power from whatever kompromat he has on Trump

He's not a US citizen. Never has been

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He does actively participate in the elections.

That's debatable. You could say he indirectly participates.
Does that count as active? I don't know

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

If he's doing it on purpose, it's active.
