Because that is where the definitions of natural, naturalized were changed/upgraded, who qualifies, who doesn’t, etc. I think(I may be off a few years) the last changes were in the early 60’s and those were the ones that covered Obama’s citizenship concerning his mother’s residency and age requirements. It is all a convoluted mess, typical of how D.C. gets their hands on something and muddys it up.

The earliest changes were after the Civil War when blacks were given citizenship. Then some in the late 1800’s then some about 1920 or so. Not too sure as to the exact dates.

Never the less, if anybody HAS STANDING it will get settled for good.

Not much of an answer. Anyway...

The term "natural" does not appear in the statute. Title 8 - ALIENS AND NATIONALITY CHAPTER 12 - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY SUBCHAPTER I - GENERAL PROVISIONS Sec. 1101 - Definitions
Try again.

Now, naturalized isn't defined, but "naturalization" is...

(23) The term "naturalization" means the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever.

Do keep in mind that "State" and the word state used there aren't the same thing as "State" is defined while state isn't.

(36) The term "State" includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

The use of the word state in that definition can mean any country, if you prefer that word, in the world. Like when "sovereign state" is used.
