Here is the bottom line. Herb Titus, the Constitutional Scholar with impeccable credentials to make him a expert on the natural born Citizen issue would agree with this. Being born a citizen does not necessarily make for a natural born citizen. If you are born in the US to foreign citizen parent or parents, you are a naturalized citizen at birth – naturalized by the 14th amendment. If you are born abroad to US citizen parents, you are a naturalized citizen at birth – naturalized by a federal statute. But, if you are born in the U.S. to U.S. citizen parents, no human law (which is what naturalization is) is needed to establish your citizenship at birth – you are a citizen at birth by the laws of nature – hence you are a “natural” born citizen and eligible for Article 2 Section 1 to be president. You see, a statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature).
The bottom line is: Being born on US soil makes you a natural born citizen, unless your parents are foreign ambassadors or royalty, or member of an invading army.
And being born an American citizen overseas MOST LIKELY makes you a natural born citizen.
The latter has never been definitively decided upon by the Supreme Court. The former has.
And THAT, my friend, is natural born citizenship in a nutshell.
The 14th Amendment is the 21st Article of the Constitution. Any person who is a “14th Amendment citizen” is a Constitutional citizen.
Anyone who is a naturalized citizen receives a Certificate of Naturalization, whether they are naturalized at birth or later in life.
If you are a citizen at all and you weren’t issued a Certificate of Naturalization, then you are a Citizen of the United States at Birth.
There is no distinction in case law or in statute between a natural born citizen and a citizen of the United States at Birth.
