User:Roc0ast3r/List of American officeholders in other countries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of politicians that were born in the United States but held office in other countries, whether on the national or subnational level. This does not count politicians who moved to the United States after holding office, this only counts politicians born in the United States who later held office in other countries.

This list does not include Americans who married international nobility, as there is already a list for that. This list, however, may include nobility if said nobility was elected or appointed to a government position.
