May a child be "naturalized by statute at birth"? I believe "yes"; it is the very definition of an "anchor baby". Are children naturalized by statute at birth also natural born citizens? I believe "no"; this runs counter to the Framers' greatest fears of usurpation of the presidency through children of aristocracy loyal to the British Empire.

Here’s a term that has not been said much if any. What you describe it is called - “Collective Naturalization”.

May a child be "naturalized by statute at birth"?

I suppose that if this were enacted by legislation, it would be possible, but it would require an application for naturalization and and and act of naturalization by the government. The government would then issue a certificate of naturalization.

But, that's not the statute we have, is it?
