They are American Citizens but not Natural Born Citizens to be President. No title 8 sec 1401 person has ever been president and certainly no anchor baby can ever be president. That is why they make it unique to be President with the Natural Born Citizen clause. It ensures no chances of dual allegiances to other governments. Both parents must be citizens of the US in order to be a NBC.If this is true, how is it that Mexican illegal aliens can sneak across the border illegally, birth their babies, and then the babies be considered an American citizen?
What? Because the first part of Title 8, Section 1401 of the U.S. Code says that, get this,
"a person born in the United States" is considered an American citizen. I just quoted the portion of the code Obama falls under not the whole code. There are several different ways to be considered a citizen. I'm not saying thats how it should be but as of now it's how it is.
You are correct
