I think if born to one or more legal US citizens (natural born or naturalized). The parents have to be married too. Everyone must take and pass a civics course that covers the U.S. constitution to demonstrate competency to vote or hold any public office or govt job. Everyone. If you can’t pass it, you should not be voting.
Neah.
If you are born in the US, to married parents, one of whom is a lawful US Resident, you get the equivalent of a green card - let’s call it a blue card - you’re a permanent resident and you can work here.
Once you complete the naturalization process, you become a Citizen, can vote, run for office, hold appointed office, and be hired for government jobs requiring a security clearance.
Any violent felony conviction will result in forfeiture of Citizen status.
I want Citizenship to MEAN something - to be the most valuable possession an American can hold, to be something worth killing or dying over.
