For case law, see US vs. Wong, 1897 or so. The US confers citizenship jus soli, by virtue of place of birth, not jus sanguinis, by blood.

If this were true, then someone born to American citizen parents overseas would then not be American.

It is true, but we have exceptions in the Constitution for the children of citizens abroad.

Jus soli gives us anchor babies.
