Three types of citizenship are recognized by our government: native born; naturalized; and citizen-by-statute (derived citizenship).
All have equal rights. All can serve in Congress, either as a Representative in the House, or as a Senator in the Senate.
The following link will take you to the government’s own Immigration Service web page describing the three types of citizenship.

Natural Born Citizen is NOT a type of statutory citizenship as per the Federal Government. Natural Born is ONLY an eligibility requirement for the U.S. Presidency per Article II, Section 1, clause 5, of the U.S. Constitution, and requires, as per the Founders, the President to be born in the United States (jus solis) AND of citizen parents (jus sanguinas).
No one has the RIGHT to be President. The eligibility requirement of Natural Born Citizenship (jus solis + jus sanguinas: born in the U.S. of U.S. citizen parents) must be viewed as a means to prevent split allegiance for any President of the United States.
The definition of Natural Born citizen exists in the Supreme Court holding of Minor v. Hapersett (1875), and has been reafirmed in 25 other Supreme Court cases.
I didn’t ask you to repeat “birther” talking points. I asked you for specific authority to support your insane assertion. Particularly, can you cite a case that supports your contention regarding United States Citizens in Puerto Rico. Since when is a person who is born in a United States territory not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States?
I find it interesting that the “birther” folk like to continue to move the goalposts, yet can’t provide support for their assertions beyond repeating the same talking points over and over again.
You NAILED it here. Clearly and succinctly.
