Legal definition of a Natural Born Citizen derived from the …
FIRST CONGRESS. Sess. II CH 3. 1790 (approved March 26, 1790)

‘Natural Born’ citizen is citizenship inherited from the parents, NOT by statute. Which means her parents MUST be US citizens without dual allegiance/citizenship at the time of her birth and born within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

CHAP, II. - An Act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization.(a) March 26,1790.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That any alien, being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof, on application to any common law court of record, in any one of the states wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least, and making proof to the satisfaction of such court, that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law, to ‘support the constitution of the United States,
which oath or affirmation such court shall administer; and the clerk of such court shall record such application, and the proceedings thereon; and thereupon such person shall be considered as a citizen of the United States. And the children of such persons so naturalized, dwelling-within the United States, being under the age of twenty-one years at the time of such naturalization, shall also be considered as citizens of the United States. And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, That no person heretofore proscribed by any state, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an act of the legislature of the state in which such person was proscribed, (a)
APPROVED, March 26, 1790.

Uniform Rule of Naturalization of 1790 refereed to an implicit/self-evident meaning of ‘Natural Born’ when used in this Act. Natural Born meant within the Act that the parents MUST be ‘Citizens of the United States’...

“And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as NATURAL BORN citizens...”

That simply meant that if ‘by situation’ a child is born to traveling US citizens beyond the jurisdiction of the US, the born child is subject to US naturalization law; and if the parents are citizens of the United States then that born child is recognized as having acquired INHERITED citizenship from its US parents and is considered as NATURAL BORN.

Chapter 3 - U.S. Citizens at Birth (INA 301 and 309)

A. General Requirements for Acquisition of Citizenship at Birth

Chapter 3 gives the provisions/conditions to acquire citizenship(naturalization) BY STATUTE, not inherited citizenship. Natural born artisanship is inherited, not acquired by statute.

~~~~~~~~

US Constitution - 14th Amendment

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.

All persons BORN (natural born)... OR... Naturalized (by statute).

Kamala Harris is an ANCHOR BABY! An anchor baby is a baby born to a non-citizen mother under the jurisdiction of a country that gives the baby birthright citizenship under statute. The baby also has birthright dual citizenship passed by wedlock from the fathers nationality. 2 strikes against her!

Kamala Harris does not qualify to be VP... she IS NOT a native US citizen, aka: ‘Natural Born’ citizenship. She did not inherit her citizenship though her parents... neither of her parents were US citizens(they were foreign nationals at the time of her birth) and she became a US citizen by statute, birth right naturalization under US jurisdiction on US soil(aka: anchor baby, 14th amendment). To be qualified to be VP her US citizenship CANNOT be by statute naturalization.

Most US citizens are natural born, born to US citizen parents having no allegiance to another country or its jurisdiction. But Kamala is not!

So, by your reasoning, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump are not natural born citizens since their mother was a Czech citizen?

"Legal definition of a Natural Born Citizen derived from the … FIRST CONGRESS. Sess. II CH 3. 1790 (approved March 26, 1790) ‘Natural Born’ citizen is citizenship inherited from the parents, NOT by statute..."

Incorrect. That statute wasn't defining "natural born citizen". It specifically covered children who were born outside the country. It didn't mention children born inside. It was a statute passed to govern the citizenship of people born overseas.

The 14th Amendment is not a statute. People born in the US are not citizens by "statute naturalization". They are natural born citizens.
