At birth, by being born to an American parent!

Trump plant spews more ignorance.
“Only if the citizen parents files for a CBRA”
From what I just read about the document, it’s Only if the citizen parents files for a CBRA before the child is 18. It appears that TC was 16...
BS, common law is clear on this.
NO!
The facts don’t need CBRA paperwork to substantiate them, as the Birth Certificate does that.
Not according to my parents. My brother was born in Venezuela. They said all he had to do was register to vote.
He’s in his 60s now. Always claimed to be an American citizen.

Hubby and I were stationed overseas when our first child was born, e.g. 1965, on a military reservation and I had to go down to the U. S. Consulate after his birth, and produce the birth certificate that was given to me by the US Army Hospital, and register his birth even though both my husband and I are U. S. Citizens. After we got back to the States, when baby was about 2 1/2 years old we had to have a passport picture of our son taken, make out all kinds of paper work, which at that time, was the same that an legal immigrant makes out when he or she becomes a US citizen, and we had to appear before a Federal Judge (who was in Baltimore, MD) and take the oath of citizenship for our son. To this day, our son has all those papers and when he applied for a passport, several years after he got married, he had to produce those papers and it didn’t matter that Mom and Dad are US citizens, but that’s what we went through.
Wrong. The CRBA is not required by law, but is recommended. In fact on the State department web site, it says the following:
A person born abroad who acquired U.S. citizenship at birth but who is over the age of 18 (and so not eligible for a CRBA) may wish to apply for a Certificate of Citizenship to document acquisition pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1452.
So obviously, the US government recognizes that a child born to US parents abroad acquires citizenship at birth, regardless of whether or not the CRBA is filed. The CRBA is just one method, not the only method, of documenting that fact.
