The U.S. recognizes citizenship according to two fundamental principles: jus soli (right of birthplace), and jus sanguinis
(right of blood). Under jus soli, a person receives American citizenship by vir tue of being born in the United States. By
contrast, jus sanguinis confers citizenship on those born to at least one U.S. citizen anywhere in the wor ld. A person who
does not qualify under either of these principles may seek U.S. citizenship through the process of naturalization.

If you believe Cboldt’s rational, jus soli trumps (pardon pun) jus sanguinis. And that jus soli is a citizenship more inviolate than the latter. That is just not the case.

Jus soli and jus sanguinis constitute birthright citizenship.

Remember native born and natural born are not synonomous terms nor were they ever intended to be.

Just having a question and a hostile USSC is enough to cast a shadow.

Jus soli and jus sanguinis constitute natural born citizenship.

Both are required.
