minus-squaredankm@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 day agoSeems the consensus now is a natural born citizen is one with birthright citizenship; so anyone born to a US citizen counts as well. If the USA successfully annexes Canada Musk would qualify since he was born to a Canadian citizen who would now be a US citizen.
minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoI moved my comment to below this one… To be “natural born”, you have to be born either inside the United States or to somebody that was a US citizen at the time. If you have 11 children and become a US citizen, your children are not automatically citizens as well. They have to apply.
