So, my grandfathers were born in 1893 and 1895 to four subjects of foreign rulers - three to the Emperor of Germany, one to her Brittanic Majesty Victoria Alexandria.
When they were issued draft cards in 1917, the cards had checkboxes for “natural born” or “naturalized”. They were already voting, recognized as citizens by the Board of Elections of the City of New York.
Neither of them were naturalized.
Now - is there anybody here who thinks that my grandfathers were not citizens at birth? If they were not, and they were never naturalized, then what about my parents?
Were your grandfathers born on US soil? And were their parents US citizens at the time of their birth on US soil?
It is NOT complicated... US citizen parents birthing their child ON US soil. ‘We the people’ are government. Draft cards do not make a ‘natural born’ US citizen... US citizen parents, birthing their child on US soil is the ‘creator’ of ‘natural born’ US citizen.
