Due to the weakening U.S . Dollar, wouldn't it be wiser to invest in British stocks rather than U.S. stocks?
Since the Pound is much stronger than the Dollar, I'm thinking if the British stock goes up I will make even more money after I sell and convert from the British pound back into U.S. Dollars.
Bad idea. You shouldn't be focused on the British pound. It's the euro that's going up in value.
It would be better if you bought shares in a mutual fund that focused on European companies. A lot safer and smarter that way. Try Vanguard.com, T Rowe Price.com, etc. for options. I use Vanguard and have no problems with them.

You have no idea what will happen in the future. Many people say that since the dollar is weak, it's a good time to buy US investments. Or Silver. Or Gold.
It's speculation. Diversify.

All other things being equal, investing in overseas securities while your own currency is going down is a good idea. Just bear in mind that all other things may not be equal.

It's a bit 50/50 trying to pick which way to go...... on the one hand it could be a smart move to buy British in the short term for gains.... on the other it could be smarter to do your best impersonation of Warren Buffett and buy up as many American stocks your budget will allow while they're cheap and take some short-term pain for some long-term gain in the distant future - UK stocks (which is all I can invest in at the moment with my UK sharebuilder account with the Halifax, being a UK resident).... they tend to move in by the Penny (usually being displayed in Pence, rather than Pounds)... while US ones move by whole dollar amounts from what I've seen on my watch lists / fantasy stock games.
And my British stocks have been taking quite a plummet lately... in particular AQP.L + HBOS.L both taking a bit of a hit on Friday. (my whole portfolio dropping about 3-4% last week)
