You are right. I had a baby in another country and I got him his American birth certificate from the Embassy tout suite thereafter. He is a full American citizen, but he can’t be President. (too bad for me, huh? I have to miss out on all those free trips the mothers now get to go on...)
This guy’s parents only had to file for his American citizenship, but they did not bother.
Today what this means is that the American birth certificate a child born overseas gets, is his only original copy. There is nothing in the States on file for my son like there are for US born kids. Of course now his passport files exist, based on his BC. (remind you of anyone???)
Incorrect. Nowhere is it written that you must be born on US soil to be Natural Born. Only that you are a citizen by birth (as opposed to becoming one later, such as Arnold and Henry).
