Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to consider a person born in the United States "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States for citizenship at birth purposes if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is: (1) a U.S. citizen or national; (2) a lawful permanent resident alien whose residence is in the United States; or (3) an alien performing active service in the armed forces.

I wonder what effect this has on the other side of the equation: a child born to an American citizen overseas. What if an American citizen has a child overseas? Does this law exclude that child from American citizenship?

I noted in the actual legislation on Thomas that it apparently is not intended to have any effect on other parts of the immigration and nationality law that is being amended, but I am not sure that that rules out my question.

No the parents have to apply for the child to become an American citizen...

But the child born overseas while his Dad is an American soldier stationed overseas is not eligible to ever become POTUS
