Nope, that has been discussed at length in the threads of last fall on this issue. Birth in America to one American parent bestows American citizenship. Now birth to an American mother aboard does as well but when Urkle was born the mother had to be over 18 for this to come into effect. She was 17 so this is even stickier than ever.

American citizenship.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There is a difference between **natural born** citizenship, and ordinary citizenship. A president must be a **natural born** citizen.
