But, in 2009 the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act came into effect providing that a person born outside the UK to a British mother may be entitled to register as a British citizen by descent if that person was born before 1 January 1983. That law clarified that a person born in 1946, able to claim British nationality by descent (both apply to Donald Trump) is entitled to British nationality.
