[Citizen Blade]

A natural born citizen, would not be a citizen of any other nation than the United States. That is what "natural born" means. By nature, the child, would be only a US citizen, because both of his parents were US citizens, and NO OTHER NATION, can by law claim him to be under their jurisdiction, at the moment of his birth.

Er, no, that is not what natural born means. Someone can be a natural born citizen of the US, but also be a citizen at birth of another country. Other countries' laws regarding the citizenship of a newborn have no effect on whether or not a child is a natural born US citizen.

Er, no, that is not what natural born means.

To those who wrote the naturalization laws in the 1790s, a "natural born" citizen was one who was born to two parents who were both U.S. citizens whether here or abroad. In the mid-1790s it was rewritten so that those born abroad were citizens as opposed to "natural born" citizens.
