It was even the case when states individually controlled immigration. born in the usa made a person natural born citizen.
sorry, you're incorrect.
being born on US soil can make someone a US citizen... but NOT NECESSARILY a natural born citizen. if the person was born of foreign national parents, that person would be a dual citizen. OBVIOUSLY not a natural born citizen
the cold hard truth:
a natural born citizen is a citizen naturally, as there are no alternatives.
thank you for pointing out someone born in USA is not necessarily a Natural Born Citizen
People never stop to ask themselves why in our constitution does the ONLY article requiring a Natural Born citizen pertain to our President.
People never stop to ask because they don’t want to accept the truth. our Constitution sets a higher standard for qualificartions of POTUS than it does for any other office
no the law is clear, direct, and precise. There are only two kinds of citizen. Born and Naturalized. There is zero nuance. Born a citizens is born a citizen without any varriation or nuance. period.
