“rules of naturalization” means not only who is eligible to be naturalized but also includes:

- the process by which such naturalization must take place
- who is not or never can be naturalized
- those who do not need to be naturalized by the circumstances of their birth
- any and all rules

[Robert DeLong]

U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual: "Automatic" acquisition of U.S. citizenship after birth, a form of naturalization by certain children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents or children adopted abroad by U.S. citizen parents.
