<>Sorry, there, jack, he was a natural born citizen that needed to take no further action to be a US citizen.<>
Uhhhh — No
He didn’t become an American citizen until his mother filed the necessary papers with the U.S. embassy in Canada according to the law.

You should report the birth of a child abroad (outside the United States) to establish US citizenship. The birth of a child abroad (or overseas) to a U.S. citizen parent(s) should be reported as soon as possible to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to establish an official record of the child’s claim to U.S. citizenship at birth. The official record is a Consular Report of Birth of a Citizen of the United States of America, or Form FS-240. This document, known as the Consular Report of Birth Abroad, is a basic United States citizenship document.
“He didn’t become an American citizen until his mother filed the necessary papers with the U.S. embassy in Canada according to the law.”
Um, no. He was a citizen at birth and she simply had to file that the birth happened, just like your mother had to do. The only difference was the process to do so.
By your illogical reasoning, you weren’t a citizen, either, until your birth certificate had been properly recorded. So, I guess you are not a natural born citizen as there was paperwork to do.
I have two siblings that are foreign born and both are natural born citizens and my parents also had additional paperwork to file. Big deal.
