Natural born citizen example Bob’s parents are British citizens. Bob is born in Hawaii and is subject to the jurisdiction of that state. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1401(a) (2008) , Bob acquires U.S. citizenship at birth. Therefore, Bob is a “natural born Citizen” of the United States.

Since USC 8 pertains to ALIENS AND NATIONALITY how can "Bob" be a natural born citizen when positive law, not natural law, made him a citizen?

So you’re saying that Cornell University (hot bed of marxist socialism) Law School says that a person is a natural born citizen because of a statute - 8 U.S.C. § 1401(a) (2008)?

Forget blood and lineage, forget location, natural born to you means by statute.

Okay. /s
