You’re talking to someone that knows more on the subject than you. I’ve already posted as have others the statutes and their requirements numerous times.
Natural Born Citizen is not in the immigration statutes because it is a stricter form of ‘Citizen at Birth category’ than a general Citizen at Birth category and because it has to do with presidential eligibility and not immigration law. In other words it is a subset but a stricter smaller subset that exists only for presidential eligibility. It is not explicit in the immigration statutes because the law behind those statutes was addressing immigration and naturalization and not presidential eligibility. I repeat myself for those have trouble understanding.
Presidential eligibility is addressed in the Constitution and contrary to what others say the definition of Natural Born Citizen was well known to the framers.
For purposes of determining presidential eligibility three categories of citizenship are considered of which only one is acceptable.
Presidential Elgibility:
1. Natural Born Citizen - ACCEPTABLE
2. Citizen by Birth - NOT GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE
3. Naturalized Citizen - NOT ACCEPTABLE
Every Natural Born Citizen is a Citizen by Birth but not every Citizen by Birth is a Natural Born Citizen.
The Natural Born Citizen group is a strict subset of Citizen by Birth but not the other way around.
Nope. George Washington says you are wrong by the definition of “natural born citizen” used in the Naturalization Act of 1790.
Two kinds:
(1) at birth
(2) naturalized
And current law continues that formulation.
