MOUNT VERNON, Va.—The home of President George Washington became the site of naturalization for 101 of America’s newest citizens on the Fourth of July.
In the sweltering heat, the citizens from 50 countries pledged their allegiance to the United States during a ceremony that included a visit from the man himself—well, a very good actor, at least.
