Naturalization laws do.

Yes. They do. Yes, naturalization laws do indeed apply here. :)

Later than that. The current law is 8 U.S. Code § 1401 which identifies people who don't need to be naturalized to be citizens, AKA natural-born citizens.

A naturalization law that "identifies" people who don't need naturalization.

Archie hasn't had to elect anything.

He's too young. American law doesn't require a child to choose his citizenship till he reaches the age of maturity.

I can see where that would confuse you. The law I'm referring to is the one I referenced earlier - 8 U.S. Code § 1401. While that falls under the broad naturalization law umbrella of 8 U.S. Code Part I, the purpose of that particular section is to identify those who acquire their citizenship at birth and don't need to be naturalized, AKA natural-born citizens.

Lightbulb go on?

More accurately he's already a citizen. When he reaches adulthood he can decide whether to give it up.
