My nephew wasn't born on US soil.  He was born in Berlin, Germany.  However, he is considered to be a "natural born" citizen because both of his parents are US citizens. 

If only president Obama had two parents that were US citizens, that would be a parallel but, the president's father was not a US citizen at the time of his son's birth (and I'm not sure he ever became one). So, president Obama only has one parent who is a US citizen. I'm not sure but I think that negates the "parents are Americans" argument of the new "native born" definition.



Peace and comfort,

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock

A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be genetically related to the child to transmit U.S. citizenship.

i'm afraid that is not correct, he is considered a "natural born" citizen because at least one of his parents is a us citizen. the fact that both are is immaterial, all that is needed is one citizen parent.

Birth Abroad to Two U.S. Citizen Parents in Wedlock

A child born abroad to two U.S. citizen parents acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provided that one of the parents had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the child’s birth. The child is considered to be born in wedlock if the child is the genetic issue of the married couple.

all having 2 u.s. citizen parents does is change the residency requirements.

Sure, I do. I downloaded it myself [from government official site] and I checked it using Adobe Illustrator. You may look at Youtube: it is full of cheerful digital artists how smart they are discovering it. My point was: this was obviously the intent to release it this way. It was just an attempt to create more confusion rather than to solve the issue. CIA experts can make totally authentic-looking documents if needed.
