Bill overview
This bill clarifies the definition of U.S. citizenship at birth by specifying certain categories of individuals born in the United States who are not automatically considered U.S. nationals or citizens. It builds upon the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship principle, emphasizing allegiance and obedience. Specifically, the bill excludes children born to foreign diplomats, enemy troops, spies, saboteurs, terrorists, or illegal aliens from being granted U.S. citizenship at birth. The bill amends existing immigration law to reflect these exclusions.
