If you are born in the U.S., are you not a natural citizen?

That’s usually the way it works down around Brownsville and McAllen.

Birthplace determines citizenship by operation of law.

Parents’ citizenship determines citizenship by operation of nature.

A natural born citizen attained his American citizenship by descent from his parents (or, possibly, just his father).

That’s the argument.

This would ensure that the presidency was limited to those who were at least second-generation Americans.

According to the United States Constitution, yes.

According to Leo Donofrio, former attorney, amateur professional card-player, and plaintiff in the soon-to-be unceremoniously dismissed Donofrio v. Wells, maybe.
