I guess I am not a natural-born citizen.
My great-grandmother was born in Canada in 1900.
She became a naturalized citizen sometime prior to her marriage to my great-grandfather in 1922. Her U.S. passport for their honeymoon is in a scrapbook.
That means my grandmother was not a natural-born citizen when she was born in Brooklyn in 1926, since, according to your legal expertise, both parents must be natural-born citizens.
That means my father, born in Manhattan in 1948, isn't one either, since he was not born to two natural-born-citizen parents.
And neither am I, since my father, according to your legal expertise, was not a natual born citizen, since one of his parents was not a natural-born citizen.
I guess our 45th president better be born on a reservation.
Parents have to be citizens, not natural born.
Everything you wanted to know about natural born vs citizen

If your great grandmother became a citizen before your grandmother was born (which you claim was prior to her marriage)..than your grandmother was a natural born citizen. I am assuming your great grandmothers husband was a citzen.
I am of Italian decent and dabble in genealogy. For years, on genealogy forums, some people, for whatever reason they have, want to apply for duel citizenship, to Italy.
You can only get it, if you one of your ancestors, managed to be not naturalized. I, myself cant get it.
On my mothers side, the immigrating ancestor was her parents. My grandfather was naturalized, which made his wife naturalized (the law during that particular time period). He renounced his Italian citizenship before I was born.
On my fathers side..he was born in italy, but was naturalized before he got married. Therefore, people on both my maternal and paternal sides..were citizens, renouncing the king of Italy..before I was born. I cannot, if I wanted to..get a duel citizenship. (Um..I would never do that anyway).
I am going to guess..this is how it also works here...so since your Ggrandmother became a citizen..if her husband was one..this would make your father a natural born citizen, since this took place before well before his birth.
To be a natural born citizen, both parents have to be citizens. They don’t both have to be natural born, they could both be naturalized.
You know, I’ve never seen your screen name before, maybe you haven’t read much of the 0bama eligibility threads. I urge you to do some background reading. Many of us have been reading, some doing yeoman research, studying, discussing etc for at least a year and a half.
Try to do some reading. Then you won’t have to ask questions like that one.
Have you started celebrating Thanksgiving ahead of time, huh???
