Can you expand on this? What sort of hassles? Technically the law here requires I renounce my US citizenship, though it is generally unenforced so I could have that to fall back on as an answer. I was personally born in Virginia, so it would be an issue.

Just out of curiosity, are there any other cases other than children of diplomats where someone born in the US is not a citizen?
