Your talking about native born right?

It is my understanding that a child born to two US citizens abroad would meet the natural born standard under Jus Sanguins “the law of blood”. A child born within the US is a natural born citizen under Jus Solis “the law of place” irrespective of his parent’s nationality (only exception is children born to recognized foreign diplomats).

That’s what I learned in Nationality studies anyway.

Jus Solis = birthright citizenship = native born.
Natural Born Citicenship = Born on American soil to two American Citizen parents.

That is my understanding.
