Since you have opened that can of worms, ;)
If you are born in the US to legal residents who are NOT govt officials of another country or the child of a foreign occupier, you are a natural born citizen. If your parents were here legally, then you are nbC.
You know that, I know that, the State Department knows that, the Supreme Court knows that, but several FReepers do not believe that.
Not true.
No operation of law (statutes or amendments) can make a natural born citizen out of a person who would otherwise not be a natural born citizen.
Natural born citizens are people who have NO ALLEGIANCE to any other place.
They have NO ALLEGIANCE to another country because their parents may happen to be citizens of that country.
They have NO ALLEGIANCE to another country by virtue of being born there.
They are citizens of the soil by being born here, and citizens by birthright by having parents of citizens.
No other description meets the true, intended meaning and criteria of Natural Born Citizen.
You are purposly misleading people the way they tried to carting out our Senator Marco Rubio. However, he ALWAY ducked the question because he KNOWS he’s not eligible!!!
Not true. Suppose a French couple were working here on a visa, and had a child. It would be natural of them to want French citizenship for that child.
No you are not. This is a widespread misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment and the Wong Kim Ark decision. If this were true, we would not have needed a 14th Amendment or an Indian Citizenship act to make citizens out of Former Slaves and Indians.
What you describe is native born.
