Everything in your ‘source’ mentions women and not men. And yes, back then, there were women with a different status than men.
See this portion of post #51, my point in quoting the part 7) in the ins rule was to show that there was a difference between “native-born citizen” and “natural -born citizen” .
.”..and restore the status of native-born or natural-born citizen (whichever existed prior to the loss) as of the date citizenship was reacquired.”
What category of citizenship existed for a man , but not for a woman (or vice versa )?
“Everything in your ‘source’ mentions women and not men. And yes, back then, there were women with a different status than men.”
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 had already granted U.S. citizenship to all persons born in the United States “not subject to any foreign power.” The United States does not recognize seperate classes of citizenship unless your discussing eligibility for POTUS or VP.
U.S. Citizens who obtained their citizenship by completing the naturalization process are ineligible for POTUS because their Certificate of Naturalization could be revoked if it was obtained with fraud. Statutory citizens cannot be POTUS be their Certificate of Citizenship could be revoked if it was obtained with fraud. A natural born citizen does not have a certificate issued by a Federal agency to be revoked. Consequently, their citizenship cannot be revoked unless their action indicates, by a preponderence of the evidence, they have renounced with intent to renounce.
In all other situations, you’re either a U.S citizen or not
