Questions for you.
Question 1. If a child is born to two Americans while they are living overseas, is that child an American Citizen?
Question 2. If a child is born to two Cubans while they are living overseas, is that child a Cuban citizen?
Curious about your take on this.”
Such application process will ask you if you are a US Citizen, and by which basis you claim said citizenship, and such rules which have applied, at various times, over the last 100 or so years.
It is entirely possible to be a “Natural Born Citizen” or Citizen at birth if born on foreign soil to US Citizen Parents as long as they met the requirements of age and residency prior to said birth.
2.) It is for Cuba, and Cuba alone, to determine who is a Cuban citizen.
“Such application process will ask you if you are a US Citizen, and by which basis you claim said citizenship...”
At which time you either have to show them your birth certificate or Certificate of Naturalization. Americans born overseas are issued a birth certificate or acknowledgement of birth by the Country where they were born, which the parents take to the local US consulate or embassy where they show their passports and are issued a birth certificate showing the baby’s place of birth as the country it was born in. The parents use that to apply for the baby’s US passport.
“It is entirely possible to be a “Natural Born Citizen” or Citizen at birth if born on foreign soil to US Citizen Parents as long as they met the requirements of age and residency prior to said birth.”
This certainly gives them the “Citizen at birth” status.
I still don’t understand - but I guess it’s just me, if a “Citizen” and “natural born Citizen” are the same, why those goofy Founding Fathers didn’t just use one or the other all the time. They must have been morons.
